Summary

This study tested whether the Paula Method—a set of muscle exercises based on the idea that the body can heal itself—can help people with bowel control problems after rectal cancer surgery. 62 adults who had surgery and still had symptoms like urgency, frequent bowel movements, or leakage took part. The goal was to see if these exercises could improve their bowel function over 12 weeks.
