Fecal Incontinence Treatment Near Iron River, MI
For women in Iron River and the Western Upper Peninsula area dealing with accidental bowel leakage, expert care is available in Green Bay, 2 hours 30 minutes away. Dr. Ryan Stewart is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist offering comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for fecal incontinence and other pelvic floor conditions.
Understanding Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence — accidental bowel leakage — affects about 1 in 10 women but remains severely underreported due to embarrassment. Contributing factors include childbirth injury, nerve damage, muscle weakness, and chronic bowel conditions.
Dr. Stewart explains: “Accidental bowel leakage is far more common than you might think, and I treat it regularly. There’s no need for embarrassment — only solutions.”

Why See a Urogynecology Specialist?
Depending on their background, a urogynecologist completes either a 3-year fellowship after an OB/GYN residency or a 2-year fellowship after a urology residency, focused entirely on pelvic floor disorders. This gives them the deepest expertise in conditions like fecal incontinence — from conservative management to advanced surgical techniques.
Dr. Stewart’s Approach
Dr. Stewart’s care philosophy centers on education and shared decision-making. The word “doctor” comes from the Latin docere — to teach — and this guides every patient interaction.
Dr. Stewart notes: “Fecal incontinence often coexists with other pelvic floor conditions, which is why seeing a urogynecologist makes sense.”
