Abstract

Faecal incontinence is a hidden problem that is often under-reported, under-diagnosed, under-investigated and under-treated. Faecal incontinence is more common in women and older people. Its prevalence also increases with age. Faecal incontinence occurs because of a complex interplay of contributing factors, some of which can be reversed in primary care without the need for specialist investigations and treatment. This article explores the reasons why adults develop faecal incontinence and how to identify and treat reversible causes in primary care. It also provides information on specialist treatment and the management of intractable faecal incontinence. A structured approach to assessment and management is key in identifying problems and offering primary care for timely treatment.

大便失禁:调查、治疗和管理。
大便失禁是一个隐性问题,往往报告不足、诊断不足、调查不足、治疗不足。大便失禁在女性和老年人中更为常见。其发病率也随着年龄的增长而增加。导致大便失禁的因素错综复杂,其中一些因素可以在初级保健中得到扭转,无需进行专业检查和治疗。本文探讨了成人出现大便失禁的原因,以及如何在初级保健中识别和治疗可逆的原因。文章还提供了有关专科治疗和顽固性大便失禁管理的信息。结构化的评估和管理方法是发现问题并为及时治疗提供初级保健的关键。
