Anorectal Disorders and Anal Incontinence (Clinical Updates in Women's Health Care)

Anorectal disorders and fecal incontinence are conditions that women commonly experience, but, as with other potentially embarrassing conditions, they may be reluctant to discuss these conditions with their physicians. The authors of this monograph are authorities on anorectal disorders and fecal incontinence and have developed strategies to help physicians identify these conditions and treat and refer patients with these disorders. Some of these conditions have serious and even life-threatening implications; others pose important quality of life concerns.
