Women's Silent Health Problem: Study Finds Fecal Incontinence Is Prevalent in U.S. Women, Especially Among Older Age Groups; Numbers Also High Among Women Who Have Had Several Babies, Women Who Have Major Depression.
Byline: University of Michigan Health System
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 17 (AScribe Newswire) -- It's a topic that is discussed so infrequently - for reasons that are easy to understand - that it may seem it isn't much of a problem. But new research shows that fecal incontinence is prevalent among U.S. women, especially those in older age groups, those who have had numerous babies, women whose deliveries were assisted by forceps or vacuum devices, and those who have had a hysterectomy.
Many women in the study who had fecal incontinence also had another medical condition, such as major depression or diabetes, and often experienced urinary incontinence in addition to FI. The findings are reported in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
