摘　　要：Anal incontinence(AI)in adults is a troublesome condition that negatively impacts upon quality of life and results in significant embarrassment and social isolation.The conservative management of AI is the first step and targets symptomatic relief.The reported significant improvement with conservative treatments for AI is close to 25%and involves prescribed changes in lifestyle habits,a reduced intake of foods that may cause or aggravate diarrhea or rectal urgency,and the use of specific anti-diarrheal agents.The use of a mechanical barrier in the form of an anal plug and the outcomes and principles of pelvic kinesitherapies and biofeedback options are outlined.This review discusses a gastroenterologist’s approach towards conservative therapy in patients referred with anal incontinence.
