Pessaries are used in conditions such as UTERINE PROLAPSE; CYSTOCELE; or RECTOCELE.Patient Satisfaction: The degree to which the individual regards the health care service or product or the manner in which it is delivered by the provider as useful, effective, or beneficial.Endosonography: Ultrasonography of internal organs using an ultrasound transducer sometimes mounted on a fiberoptic endoscope. In endosonography the transducer converts electronic signals into acoustic pulses or continuous waves and acts also as a receiver to detect reflected pulses from within the organ. An audiovisual-electronic interface converts the detected or processed echo signals, which pass through the electronics of the instrument, into a form that the technologist can evaluate. The procedure should not be confused with ENDOSCOPY which employs a special instrument called an endoscope. The "endo-" of endosonography refers to the examination of tissue within hollow organs, with reference to the usual ultrasonography procedure which is performed externally or transcutaneously.Urinary Sphincter, Artificial: An artifical implanted device, usually in the form of an inflatable silicone cuff, inserted in or around the bladder neck in the surgical treatment of urinary incontinence caused by sphincter weakness. Often it is placed around the bulbous urethra in adult males.

URINE flows from the KIDNEYS into the bladder via the ureters (URETER), and is held there until URINATION.Urogenital Surgical Procedures: Surgery performed on the urinary tract or its organs and on the male or female genitalia.Follow-Up Studies: Studies in which individuals or populations are followed to assess the outcome of exposures, procedures, or effects of a characteristic, e.g., occurrence of disease.Dietary Fiber: The remnants of plant cell walls that are resistant to digestion by the alimentary enzymes of man. It comprises various polysaccharides and lignins.Urination: Discharge of URINE, liquid waste processed by the KIDNEY, from the body.Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Abnormal descent of a pelvic organ resulting in the protrusion of the organ beyond its normal anatomical confines. Symptoms often include vaginal discomfort, DYSPAREUNIA; URINARY STRESS INCONTINENCE; and FECAL INCONTINENCE.Prospective Studies: Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group.Chi-Square Distribution: A distribution in which a variable is distributed like the sum of the squares of any given independent random variable, each of which has a normal distribution with mean of zero and variance of one. The chi-square test is a statistical test based on comparison of a test statistic to a chi-square distribution. The oldest of these tests are used to detect whether two or more population distributions differ from one another.Risk Factors: An aspect of personal behavior or lifestyle, environmental exposure, or inborn or inherited characteristic, which, on the basis of epidemiologic evidence, is known to be associated with a health-related condition considered important to prevent.

Effects of short term sacral nerve stimulation on anal and rectal function in patients with anal incontinence. (1/494)

BACKGROUND: Some patients with faecal incontinence are not amenable to simple surgical sphincter repair, due to sphincter weakness in the absence of a structural defect. AIMS: To evaluate the efficacy and possible mode of action of short term stimulation of sacral nerves in patients with faecal incontinence and a structurally intact external anal sphincter. PATIENTS: Twelve patients with faecal incontinence for solid or liquid stool at least once per week. METHODS: A stimulating electrode was placed (percutaneously in 10 patients, operatively in two) into the S3 or S4 foramen. The electrode was left in situ for a minimum of one week with chronic stimulation. RESULTS: Evaluable results were obtained in nine patients, with early electrode displacement in the other three. Incontinence ceased in seven of nine patients and improved notably in one; one patient with previous imperforate anus and sacral agenesis had no symptomatic response. Stimulation seemed to enhance maximum squeeze pressure but did not alter resting pressure. The rectum became less sensitive to distension with no change in rectal compliance. Ambulatory studies showed a possible reduction in rectal contractile activity and diminished episodes of spontaneous anal relaxation. CONCLUSIONS: Short term sacral nerve stimulation notably decreases episodes of faecal incontinence. The effect may be mediated via facilitation of striated sphincter muscle function, and via neuromodulation of sacral reflexes which regulate rectal sensitivity and contractility, and anal motility.  (+info)

Perception of and adaptation to rectal isobaric distension in patients with faecal incontinence. (2/494)

BACKGROUND: Perception of, and adaptation of the rectum to, distension probably play an important role in the maintenance of continence, but perception studies in faecal incontinence provide controversial conclusions possibly related to methodological biases. In order to better understand perception disorders, the aim of this study was to analyse anorectal adaptation to rectal isobaric distension in subjects with incontinence. PATIENTS/METHODS: Between June 95 and December 97, 97 consecutive patients (nine men and 88 women, mean (SEM) age 55 (1) years) suffering from incontinence were evaluated and compared with 15 healthy volunteers (four men and 11 women, mean age 48 (3) years). The patients were classified into three groups according to their perception status to rectal isobaric distensions (impaired, 22; normal, 61; enhanced, 14). Anal and rectal adaptations to increasing rectal pressure were analysed using a model of rectal isobaric distension. RESULTS: The four groups did not differ with respect to age, parity, or sex ratio. Magnitude of incontinence, prevalence of pelvic disorders, and sphincter defects were similar in the incontinent groups. When compared with healthy controls, anal pressure and rectal adaptation to distension were decreased in incontinent patients. When compared with incontinent patients with normal perception, patients with enhanced perception experienced similar rectal adaptation but had reduced anal pressure. In contrast, patients with impaired perception showed considerably decreased rectal adaptation but had similar anal pressure. CONCLUSION: Abnormal sensations during rectal distension are observed in one third of subjects suffering from incontinence. These abnormalities may reflect hyperreactivity or neuropathological damage of the rectal wall.  (+info)

Anal ultrasound predicts the response to nonoperative treatment of fecal incontinence in men. (3/494)

OBJECTIVE: To assess the etiology, treatment, and utility of anal ultrasound in men with fecal incontinence and to review the outcomes of conservative (nonoperative) treatment. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The etiology of fecal incontinence in women is almost exclusively from obstetric or iatrogenic surgical injuries resulting in damage to the anal sphincters and/or pudendal nerves. Corresponding data on men with fecal incontinence are sparse. METHODS: Between January 1995 and January 1998, 37 men with fecal incontinence were evaluated in the John Radcliffe Hospital anorectal ultrasound unit. Their clinical histories, anal ultrasound results, anorectal physiology studies, and responses to conservative therapy were reviewed. RESULTS: Median age was 57 years. Major incontinence was present in 27% of the patients. Anal ultrasound localized anal sphincter damage in nine patients, and the characteristics of these nine patients with sphincter damage were then compared with the remaining 28 without sphincter damage. Prior anal surgery was more common in patients with sphincter damage. Hemorrhoids were more common in patients without sphincter damage. Anorectal physiology studies revealed significantly lower mean maximum resting and squeeze pressures in patients with sphincter damage, confirming poor sphincter function. With 92% follow-up, patients without sphincter damage were more likely to improve with nonoperative therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Anal ultrasound is extremely useful in the evaluation of fecal incontinence in men. Unlike women, the majority of men do not have a sphincter defect by anal ultrasound, and conservative management is usually successful in these patients. In contrast, in men with anal sphincter damage, almost all of these defects resulted from previous anal surgery. Conservative management rarely is successful in these cases, and surgical repair of the anal sphincter may be indicated. Therefore, because the presence or absence of sphincter damage on anal ultrasound usually predicts the response to nonoperative treatment, anal ultrasound should be used to guide the initial management of men with fecal incontinence.  (+info)

Long-term results of artificial anal sphincter implantation for severe anal incontinence. (4/494)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the long-term results of implantation of an artificial anal sphincter (AAS) for severe anal incontinence. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Implantation of an AAS is one of the options for treatment of anal incontinence when standard operations have failed. It is the only surgical option for treatment of anal incontinence in patients with neurologic disease that affects the pelvic floor and the muscles of the lower limb. METHODS: Seventeen patients underwent implantation of an AAS before 1993. These patients have been followed and their continence status evaluated. RESULTS: Two patients died of unrelated causes within the first 3 years after surgery, and in three patients the AAS was explanted because of infection. During the follow-up period, four patients had the AAS removed because of malfunction, and eight patients had a functioning AAS > or =5 years after the primary implantation. Five of these patients had revisional procedures, mainly because of technical problems in the early part of the study, when a urinary sphincter or slightly modified urinary sphincter was used. Continence at follow-up was good in four patients and acceptable in three, whereas one patient still had occasional leakage of solid stool. One patient had rectal emptying problems, which she managed by enema. CONCLUSIONS: An AAS based on the same principles as the artificial urinary sphincter seems to be a valid alternative in selected patients when standard surgical procedures have failed or are unsuitable. Approximately half of the patients have an adequate long-term result. Infectious complications still present a problem, whereas mechanical problems are less frequent with the modification of the device now available.  (+info)

Functional disorders of the anus and rectum. (5/494)

In this report the functional anorectal disorders, the etiology of which is currently unknown or related to the abnormal functioning of normally innervated and structurally intact muscles, are discussed. These disorders include functional fecal incontinence, functional anorectal pain, including levator ani syndrome and proctalgia fugax, and pelvic floor dyssynergia. The epidemiology of each disorder is defined and discussed, their pathophysiology is summarized and diagnostic approaches and treatment are suggested. Some suggestions for the direction of future research on these disorders are also given.  (+info)

Mortality in relation to urinary and faecal incontinence in elderly people living at home. (6/494)

OBJECTIVE: To examine the relationship between incontinence and mortality in elderly people living at home. DESIGN: Of the randomly selected people aged 65 years and older living in Settsu city, Osaka in October 1992, 1405 were contacted and constituted the study cohort. Follow-up for 42 months was completed for 1318 (93.8%; 1129 alive, 189 dead). MEASURES: Data on general health status, history of health management, psychosocial conditions and urinary and faecal incontinence were collected by interview during home visits at the time of enrolment. RESULTS: From the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the estimated survival rates decreased with a decline in continence in both the 65-74 and 75 years and older age groups. From the Cox proportional hazards model, unadjusted hazard ratios of minor, moderate and severe incontinence for mortality, compared with continence, were 2.27, 2.96 and 5.94, respectively. Multivariate analysis yielded adjusted hazard ratios of minor, moderate and severe incontinence of 0.99, 1.17 and 1.91, respectively, leaving severe incontinence as the significant factor, when other indicators are controlled. CONCLUSIONS: Incontinence is related to mortality and severe incontinence represents an increased risk factor for mortality in elderly people living at home.  (+info)

Long-term functional outcome and quality of life after stapled restorative proctocolectomy. (7/494)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate prospectively long-term quality of life and functional outcome after restorative proctocolectomy (RPC) with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis, and to evaluate and validate a novel quality-of-life indicator in this group of patients. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is now the preferred option when total proctocolectomy is required for ulcerative colitis or familial adenomatous polyposis, but long-term data on functional outcome and quality of life after the procedure are lacking. METHODS: Patients (n = 977) who underwent RPC with stapled anastomosis for colitis or polyposis coli and who were followed for > or =12 months were included. Quality of life, fecal incontinence, and satisfaction with surgery were prospectively evaluated by structured interview or questionnaire for 1 to 12 years after surgery (median 5.0). Quality of life was scored using the Cleveland Global Quality of Life (CGQL) instrument (Fazio Score). This is a novel score developed over the past 15 years by the senior author. Quality of life was also evaluated in a subgroup of patients with the Short Form 36 (SF-36). The CGQL was validated by determining its reliability, responsiveness, and validity as well as its correlation with the SF-36 score. RESULTS: Postoperative quality of life as measured by SF-36 was excellent and compared well with published norms for the general U.S. population. The CGQL was found to be reliable, responsive, and valid, and there was a high correlation with the SF-36 scores. Using the CGQL, quality of life was shown to increase after the first 2 years after surgery, and there was no deterioration thereafter. The prevalence of perfect continence increased from 75.5% before surgery to 82.4% after surgery, and although this deteriorated somewhat >2 years after surgery, it was no worse than preoperative values. Ninety-eight percent of patients would recommend the surgery to others. CONCLUSIONS: Long-term quality of life after ileal pouch surgery is excellent and the level of continence is satisfactory. This surgery is an excellent long-term option in patients requiring total proctocolectomy. The CGQL is a simple, valid, and reliable measure of quality of life after pelvic pouch surgery and may well be applicable in many other clinical conditions.  (+info)

Midline episiotomy and anal incontinence: retrospective cohort study. (8/494)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relation between midline episiotomy and postpartum anal incontinence. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study with three study arms and six months of follow up. SETTING: University teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS: Primiparous women who vaginally delivered a live full term, singleton baby between 1 August 1996 and 8 February 1997: 209 who received an episiotomy; 206 who did not receive an episiotomy but experienced a second, third, or fourth degree spontaneous perineal laceration; and 211 who experienced either no laceration or a first degree perineal laceration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Self reported faecal and flatus incontinence at three and six months postpartum. RESULTS: Women who had episiotomies had a higher risk of faecal incontinence at three (odds ratio 5.5, 95% confidence interval 1.8 to 16.2) and six (3.7, 0.9 to 15.6) months postpartum compared with women with an intact perineum. Compared with women with a spontaneous laceration, episiotomy tripled the risk of faecal incontinence at three months (95% confidence interval 1.3 to 7.9) and six months (0.7 to 11.2) postpartum, and doubled the risk of flatus incontinence at three months (1.3 to 3.4) and six months (1.2 to 3.7) postpartum. A non-extending episiotomy (that is, second degree surgical incision) tripled the risk of faecal incontinence (1.1 to 9.0) and nearly doubled the risk of flatus incontinence (1.0 to 3.0) at three months postpartum compared with women who had a second degree spontaneous tear. The effect of episiotomy was independent of maternal age, infant birth weight, duration of second stage of labour, use of obstetric instrumentation during delivery, and complications of labour. CONCLUSIONS: Midline episiotomy is not effective in protecting the perineum and sphincters during childbirth and may impair anal continence.  (+info)

Sacral nerve stimulation is a very good and effective treatment for faecal incontinence The method was introduced to patients with voiding disorders in 1981. In 1995 sacral nerve stimulation was used for three patients with faecal incontinence, two were afterwards fully continent. The method has over the last decade been used increasingly in Europe. The method is now used routinely in the treatment of faecal incontinence in Europe.. Recent studies have shown that the effect of sacral nerve stimulation is due to a neuromodulation in the central nervous system, whereas direct stimulation of efferent nerves to anal sphincter and the pelvic floor has less significance.. The sacral nerve stimulation is performed in two steps, first a test stimulation, if positive the patients proceed to permanent implant.. Test stimulation (PNE-test) is performed over a 3 week period. If this test stimulation produces a decrease in incontinence episodes of more than 50 per cent, a permanent electrode and ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Pathophysiology of Adult Fecal Incontinence. AU - Rao, Satish S.C.. PY - 2004/1. Y1 - 2004/1. N2 - Fecal incontinence occurs when the normal anatomy or physiology that maintains the structure and function of the anorectal unit is disrupted. Incontinence usually results from the interplay of multiple pathogenic mechanisms and is rarely attributable to a single factor. The internal anal sphincter (IAS) provides most of the resting anal pressure and is reinforced during voluntary squeeze by the external anal sphincter (EAS), the anal mucosal folds, and the anal endovascular cushions. Disruption or weakness of the EAS can cause urge-related or diarrhea-associated fecal incontinence. Damage to the endovascular cushions may produce a poor anal "seal" and an impaired anorectal sampling reflex. The ability of the rectum to perceive the presence of stool leads to the rectoanal contractile reflex response, an essential mechanism for maintaining continence. Pudendal neuropathy can diminish ...

Management of fecal incontinence - focus on a vaginal insert for bowel control Eric R Sokol Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA, USA Abstract: Fecal incontinence, also referred to as accidental bowel leakage, is a debilitating condition that impacts quality of life in a significant number of women. Current treatments for fecal incontinence include behavioral modification, biofeedback, drug therapy, and invasive surgical procedures. However, these treatments have suboptimal efficacy due to patient adherence, variability of presentation across patients, cost, and additional health risks. A vaginal bowel control system (EclipseTM System) was developed to offer a low-risk, effective, and patient-managed approach to treating accidental bowel leakage. The vaginal bowel control system consists of a vaginal insert and user-controlled, pressure-regulated pump.

Physically, fecal incontinence frequently leads to a condition called Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD)--skin irritation and inflammation of the surrounding skin caused by frequent contact with stool.13 Itching and burning are common symptoms of IAD. Chronic irritation, frequent bathing and the use of cleansers can lead to the erosion of the protective layers of the skin, leading to an increased risk of developing bacterial and fungal infections.2, 7 IAD is a common problem in hospitalized acute care and critical care patients. Studies show that the overall prevalence of fecal incontinence is 17.6% and the associated rate of skin injury among those that are incontinent is up to 42.5%. Patients with fecal incontinence are 22 times more likely to develop skin ulcerations than continent patients.7 Fecal incontinence can also have serious psychological and social complications. Those afflicted often suffer emotions such as anger, anxiety, depression and frustration due to their lack of bowel ...

Incontinence or the leakage of urine or feces may be caused by weakness in the pelvic floor muscles and poor muscle balance in the abdominal and hip musculature. In children, constipation may also play a role. Common types of incontinence include: enuresis (bed wetting), giggle incontinence (leakage associated with laughing), stress incontinence (leakage due to playground activities), fecal incontinence (loss of bowel control due to muscle weakness), and encoporesis (fecal incontinence in a child who has already learned voluntary control of his bowels). ...

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to examine the long-term results of electromyographic biofeedback training in fecal incontinence.. METHODS: Thirty-seven patients (1 male) received a customised program of 2 to 11 (median, 3) biofeedback training sessions with an anal plug electromyometer. Nine patients had persistent incontinence after anal sphincter repair, a further 8 patients had postsurgical or partial obstetric damage of the sphincter but no sphincter repair, 9 patients had neurogenic sphincter damage, and 11 patients were classified as having idiopathic fecal incontinence. Duration of voluntary sphincter contraction was measured by anal electromyography (endurance score) before and after treatment. A postal questionnaire was used to investigate the following variables: 1) subjective rating on a four-grade Likert-scale of the overall result of the biofeedback training; 2) incontinence score (maximum score is 18, and 0 indicates no incontinence); and 3) rating of bowel dissatisfaction ...

Anorectal Manometry - Center for Advanced GIAnorectal Manometry - Center for Advanced GI
The anal and rectal area contains specialized muscles that are helpful to regulate proper passage of bowel movements.. Normally, when stool enters the rectum, the anal sphincter muscle tightens to prevent passage of stool at an inconvenient time. If this muscle is weak or does not contract in a timely way, incontinence (leakage of stool) may occur.. Normally, when a person pushes or bears down to have a bowel movement, the anal sphincter muscles relax. This will cause the pressures to decrease allowing evacuation of stool. If the sphincter muscles tighten when pushing, this could contribute to constipation. Anal manometry measures how strong the sphincter muscles are and whether they relax as they should during passing a stool. It provides helpful information to the doctor in treating patients with fecal incontinence or severe constipation.. There are many causes of fecal incontinence. Weak anal sphincter muscles or poor sensation in the rectum can contribute to fecal incontinence. If these ...

Finding Out About Incontinence - American Family PhysicianFinding Out About Incontinence - American Family Physician
There are three main kinds of urinary incontinence. The kind most people have is called stress incontinence. You might get stress incontinence if your bladder muscle doesnt work well or if your urethra gets moved out of the right place (this could happen with age, or after childbirth). If you have stress incontinence, you may dribble urine when you cough, sneeze or laugh.. Another kind is called urge incontinence. Its also called hyperactive or irritable bladder. This happens when your bladder contractions are too strong for you to control. You feel a strong desire to urinate and cant get to the bathroom before the bladder releases the urine.. A kind of incontinence not many people have is called overflow incontinence. This happens when your bladder cant push out all the urine when you go to the bathroom. It starts to dribble out between trips to the toilet. A blocked urethra or weakness in your bladder muscles or in the bladder nerves may cause overflow incontinence. ...

The type of incontinence that affects millions of women, young and old, is stress incontinence. This type of incontinence is largely a result of pregnancy or childbirth, and it manifests itself when pressure is applied to the abdomen. The pressure does not have to be excessive to cause a problem. For example, the incontinence frequently occurs when a women lifts something heavy, sneezes, coughs or even laughs. The resulting urine leakage can be embarrassing and unexpected, and soon stress incontinence may cease to be a problem; because now lasers are being used to treat this type of incontinence.. The laser treatment is completely non invasive, and it is easy to administer. The infrared light is applied to the bladder area, and it tightens the delicate tissue around the urethra. This infrared procedure is the exact same one that is used in cosmetic applications to tighten sagging skin. Only recently have lasers been used to treat stress incontinence, and the results are promising.. Genityte, the ...

Yes. There are four types of urinary incontinence.. Stress incontinence is when urine leaks because of sudden pressure on your lower stomach muscles, such as when you cough, sneeze, laugh, rise from a chair, lift something or exercise. Stress incontinence usually occurs when the pelvic muscles are weakened, sometimes by childbirth, or by prostate or other pelvic surgery. Stress incontinence is common in women.. Urge incontinence is when the need to urinate comes on too fast-before you can get to a toilet. Your body may only give you a warning of a few seconds or minutes before you urinate. Urge incontinence is most common in the elderly and may be a sign of an infection in the kidneys or bladder.. Overflow incontinence is when you have a constant dribbling of urine. Its caused by an overfilled bladder. You may feel like you cant empty your bladder all the way and you may strain when urinating. This often occurs in men and can be caused by something blocking the urinary flow, such as an ...
Diagnosis of Urinary Incontinence - American Family PhysicianDiagnosis of Urinary Incontinence - American Family Physician
Urinary incontinence is common, increases in prevalence with age, and affects quality of life for men and women. The initial evaluation occurs in the family physicians office and generally does not require urologic or gynecologic evaluation. The basic workup is aimed at identifying possible reversible causes. If no reversible cause is identified, then the incontinence is considered chronic. The next step is to determine the type of incontinence (urge, stress, overflow, mixed, or functional) and the urgency with which it should be treated. These determinations are made using a patient questionnaire, such as the 3 Incontinence Questions, an assessment of other medical problems that may contribute to incontinence, a discussion of the effect of symptoms on the patients quality of life, a review of the patients completed voiding diary, a physical examination, and, if stress incontinence is suspected, a cough stress test. Other components of the evaluation include laboratory tests and measurement of

Internal anal sphincter - WikipediaInternal anal sphincter - Wikipedia
The internal anal sphincter, IAS, (or sphincter ani internus) is a muscular ring that surrounds about 2.5-4.0 cm of the anal canal; its inferior border is in contact with, but quite separate from, the external anal sphincter. It is about 5 mm thick, and is formed by an aggregation of the involuntary circular fibers of the rectum. Its lower border is about 6 mm from the orifice of the anus. Its action is entirely involuntary, and it is in a state of continuous maximal contraction. It helps the Sphincter ani externus to occlude the anal aperture and aids in the expulsion of the feces. Sympathetic fibers from the superior rectal and hypogastric plexuses stimulate and maintain internal anal sphincter contraction. Its contraction is inhibited by parasympathetic fiber stimulation. This sphincter is tonically contracted most of the time to prevent leakage of fluid or gas, but is relaxed upon distention of the rectal ampulla, requiring voluntary contraction of the puborectalis and external anal ...

Grade 3a involves less than 50 % and grade 3b involves greater than 50 % of the EAS. The injury causes J. Gosling and A. Emmanuel a tear in the anterior portion of the muscles which is typically repaired primarily using an end--to--end or overlapping technique. Persisting sphincter defects cause dysfunction due to the mechanical disadvantage of an absent continuous muscular ring. There is much interest into the pathophysiology of incontinence in patients without a structural defect of the external anal sphincter, previously termed idiopathic faecal incontinence. The ability of normal volunteers to retain a saline enema was not hindered; in fact it improved in two cases. Pathophysiology of Anorectal Sensation Baldi et al. and Kamm et al. have shown reduced rectal sensation as tested by balloon and electrical stimulation in some patients with idiopathic constipation [89, 90]. This suggests a sensory neuropathy. This could be within the intrinsic supply within the rectal wall or the extrinsic nerve ...

Incontinence associated dermatitisIncontinence associated dermatitis
Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is an inflammatory skin condition that occurs when the skin is exposed to urine or stool and leads to secondary infection, pain, or skin lesions. Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) is physically painful and emotionally upsetting and often confused with pressure ulcers. Reported prevalence rates (i.e., the percentage of a population that has a condition; in IAD studies, the figure often is calculated from admission data) vary from 5.6% to 50%. Incidence rates (i.e., the number of new cases that develop during a specific time period, usually four weeks for IAD) vary from 3.4% to 25%. Incontinence usually has many causes, is not completely understood, and includes psychological and physiological factors. Recent evidence indicates that approximately 20% of acute care patients are incontinent and that 42.5% of incontinent patients have some type of skin injury.. Although the pathophysiology of IAD is not completely understood, disturbance of the skins ...

Urinary incontinence or loss of bladder control is a frustrating problem for more than 13 million Americans. Never knowing when and where you might have an accident can impact everything from work to exercise to your social events. It affects people of either gender, but is twice as likely in women. Research has suggested that half of older women have some form of incontinence. There are different kinds of incontinence.. Stress incontinence is the unplanned release of urine. This usually happens when a person leaks a little bit of urine while laughing, coughing, sneezing, jogging, or over exertion. It is the most common problem in younger women. Usually its caused by weakened bladder muscle due to weight gain, injury, pregnancy, or vaginal childbirth. Urge incontinence is often struck by desperate need to urinate, but you cant reach the toilet in time. It may be triggered by the sound of running water, sipping a drink, or nothing at all. A person may leak larger amounts of urine and find ...
Simplified Evaluation of the Paradoxical Puborectalis Contraction With Surface ElectrodesSimplified Evaluation of the Paradoxical Puborectalis Contraction With Surface Electrodes
PURPOSE:. Paradoxical puborectalis contraction during defecation is one possible explanation for constipation. The degree of paradoxical contraction can be evaluated by intramuscular electromyography from the puborectalis and external anal sphincter muscles. This study aimed to determine whether a noninvasive technique with surface electrodes placed over the subcutaneous part of the external anal sphincter is feasible in the evaluation of paradoxical activity.. METHODS:. Twenty-five patients with constipation were studied. Sphincter muscle activity during strain and squeeze maneuvers was recorded using surface electrodes placed 1 cm from the anal verge. In addition, intramuscular recordings were made simultaneously from the external anal sphincter and puborectalis muscles. The degree of paradoxical activation was calculated as a strain/squeeze index. The patients were examined either in the left lateral position or sitting on a commode.. RESULTS:. The study revealed significant (P , .01) ...

A more comprehensive incontinence, as major leakage of gas and / or feces can inter alia be due to an injury in the muscles or nerves in the pelvic floor in connection with surgery or childbirth. Neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, stroke and dementia may impair sensation of an inability to feel penetration..

Pressure Sores in Geriatric Patients | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of PhysiciansPressure Sores in Geriatric Patients | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of Physicians
To the editor: In the September issue, Allman and colleagues (1) describe a cross-sectional survey of hospitalized patients and factors associated with these patients having a pressure sore in the hospital. They suggest that hypoalbuminemia, fecal incontinence, and fractures may identify patients at greatest risk for pressure sores.. During our 1983 study of 55 hospitalized patients with pressure sores, we also noted hypoalbuminemia (in 27 patients) and fecal incontinence (in 44 patients) as highly prevalent in these patients (2). However, we did not find a high prevalence of fractures. We did note that bed positioning was limited for 53 patients ...

Q: Can acupuncture cure bladder Incontinence where the muscle has been damaged due to radio therapy and the bladder continually leaks?. A: Were not sure how much background information we are missing. The fact that you have had radiotherapy points to surgery of some kind, possibly the bladder or the prostate, and if so the radiotherapy may be the precipitating factor rather than the cause itself.. There isnt a great deal of research which we can point to. Studies like. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21092614. seem to point in a favourable direction, and when we were asked a similar question last year we replied:. Q: In 2010 I had a T.U.R.P on my prostate and after the operation I had stress incontinence for several weeks. I still have slight leakage now and again e.g. when lifting something heavy. I wondered if acupuncture is used to treat this problem.. A: There is no evidence which we can find of the treatment of post-TURP incontinence with acupuncture. Most research into male ...

Why Work Your Pelvic Muscles?Why Work Your Pelvic Muscles?
The best exercises for strengthening the pelvic floor are called kegel exercises. This form of exercise was named after Dr. Kegel, who developed the exercise routine in the mid-20th century. Originally, these exercises were recommended for women who had recently experienced childbirth.. Now, kegel exercises are recommended for women who suffer from stress incontinence and age-related incontinence, as well as men who have undergone prostate surgery.. Kegel exercises may even be beneficial for people who suffer from fecal incontinence. Kegel exercises are most successful when they are done properly, and they are performed on a regular basis as part of an exercise routine.. ...
CCLCM Student Blog: Anal Incontinence, PBL, and Diabetes Diet SeminarCCLCM Student Blog: Anal Incontinence, PBL, and Diabetes Diet Seminar
After class, I went to a Wellness Grand Rounds seminar. This was the first time I had ever gone to one of these. The speaker was a physician from George Washington University who studies how to use diet to treat type II diabetes. It is a pretty extreme diet: you basically have to become a vegan, meaning that you eat no meat, no dairy, no eggs, no animal products whatsoever. In addition, you are also eating a lot of complex carbs. This diet is so low-fat and high-fiber that the patients cant help but lose a significant amount of weight, even without exercise. The results are unsurprisingly excellent. Some of the patients could reverse their diabetes altogether and stop taking their medications. Others were able to reduce the doses. I bought one of his books and got a few of his peer-reviewed studies. Really, the only downside of his research is that 99.999999999% of all human beings on this planet are not willing to spend the rest of their lives eating an extremely low-fat (less than 10% fat), ...

Overactive Bowel - Causes and Symptoms | Incontinence.co.ukOveractive Bowel - Causes and Symptoms | Incontinence.co.uk
The digestive system is the bodys sewer system that processes the bodys waste product of metabolism. The output is the faeces that we discharge through bowel movements on regular intervals. Faecal discharges vary from person to person; toilet habits differ depending on the lifestyle of the person. The functions of the digestive system work in harmony with the other organs of the body and dysfunction of one takes a toll on the other parts.. One of the most common dysfunctions of the digestive system is an overactive bowel. It affects men and women in equal proportions and seems to affect people young and old from developed countries. This condition is also called faecal incontinence wherein the person cannot control the passage of stool for different reasons. Studies have shown that the nerves serving the GI tract are playing a big role in making the bowel act the way it does. Certain stimuli trigger painful bowel contractions that cause the GI tract to expel anything out, often with urgency ...
