Results of J-Pouch Surgery
In most cases, J-pouch surgery may significantly improve the quality of life. Nevertheless, those who are older than 45 years old are more likely to have nocturia and incontinence. On average, people experience around 6 bowel movements during the day and 1 bowel movement during the night after this procedure. Most of them are basically satisfied with the surgery’s results and report better quality of life. For women, J-pouch surgery does not affect their chance of getting pregnant. However, it would affect their fertility. Therefore, make sure to consult your doctor if you want to become pregnant. [11]
