Paula Igualada-Martinez: Anal Incontinence (AI) is called ‘the last taboo’ and has consequences that extend well beyond their physical symptoms. Women with anal incontinence in the first year after delivery have an increased risk of long-term incontinence. There is some evidence that indicates that pelvic floor muscle training is effective in both preventing and managing AI and this presentation will cover all relevant literature. AI is a significant burden to patients and society highlighting the need for cost-effective management and preventative interventions.
