Sphincters
Psychologist Kimberley Wilson and Dr Xand van Tulleken continue their journey around the human body, asking what our insides can reveal about our lives and the world around us.
This week, it's Sphincters' turn. While the one in our bottoms tends to claim the most mindshare, we\u2019re absolutely full of sphincters, and they\u2019re critical to our lives.
In this episode, Xand explores the inability to burp, meeting a 27-year-old who was unable to belch until an American Doctor\u2019s revolutionary procedure changed his life forever. Meanwhile, Kimberly investigates urinary sphincter failure and the innovative implants that can help restore continence.
