No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Females who have been sexually abused anally, have a disturbed anorectal motility. They have an increased resting pressure at the lower part of the anal canal. When their rectum is suddenly distended, they tend not to have an initially increased pressure in the anal canal, and the recto-anal inhibitory reflex is markedly decreased amplitude which is caused by reflex contraction of the pelvic floor during the relaxation of the internal anal sphincter.

Conditions

  • Fecal Incontinence

Interventions

DEVICE

Anorectal manometry

, patients are instructed to isolate the anal sphincter and puborectalis muscles and improve its strength by using modified Kegel exercises in lying position with a probe in situ. Visual and verbal feedback techniques are used to reinforce the maneuvers, as they are being performed. The anal and rectal pressure changes displayed on the monitor provides visual feedback to the patient.
