Health problems related to pelvic floor muscles, as faecal incontinence (FI), urinary incontinence (UI) and constipation have a significant negative impact on a person’s life. The disease is accompanied by a serious symptoms, which exclude the patient from the local community. It is noteworthy that FI and UI involve increased financial outlays for the treatment of these disorders.
Definition of the faecal incontinence is an uncontrolled passage of faecal materials that has occurred at least two to four times within four weeks of the last six months.
Anatomy of pelvic fundus is strictly corelated with those diseases, because ability to contract and relax the muscles of the pelvic floor helps with the body’s daily basic functions.
Risk factors of FI/UI include age, gender, comorbidities such as diabetes and irritable bowel syndrome, and obstetric factors. It could be treated with physiotherapy, pharmacotherapy or invasive treatment.
A review of the literature indicates that the problem of FI/UI is a significant clinical issue of concern to clinicians due to very limited treatment techniques. There is a lack of primary research covering this issue in the world literature. The authors of this paper therefore believe that a holistic view of the subject based on the latest scientific data is necessary.
