Incontinence and Anal Prolapse
Incontinence is the uncontrolled release of feces or gas with or without effort, and it occurs in multiple situations. It can be secondary to chronic diseases such as diabetes, sphincter injuries after childbirth or previous anal surgeries, nerve injuries, pelvic floor disorders or tumors of the anus and rectum.
Some patients have an associated disorder that is difficulty emptying the rectum optimally, resulting in obstructive defecation.
The treatment options are diverse depending on the cause that causes it. It is essential to establish a correct diagnosis to treat this disease
