我们研究了女性肛门失禁和其他肛门直肠症状的患病率，并评估了寻求医疗帮助的比例。向我校医院妇产科门诊（普通科、产前科、泌尿妇科）就诊的 1228 名女性发放了结构化调查问卷。我们还额外筛查了 984 名女性样本，她们代表了 35-74 岁的一般人群。普通门诊肛门失禁的患病率为5.6%，产前门诊为6.7%，泌尿妇科门诊为15.9%，普通人群为4.4%。在普通科门诊受肛门失禁影响的女性中，只有 20% 向医生报告过她们的症状。肛门失禁影响许多女性，但只有少数人寻求帮助。妇产科医生应系统询问是否存在这种症状。
We studied the prevalence of anal incontinence and other anorectal symptoms in women and evaluated the proportion of those who had sought medical help. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 1228 women attending the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinics (general, antenatal, urogynecology) of our university hospital. We also screened an additional sample of 984 women, representative of the general population aged 35-74. The prevalence of anal incontinence was 5.6% in the general outpatient clinic, 6.7% in the antenatal clinic, 15.9% in the urogynecology clinic and 4.4% in the general population. Only 20% of women affected by anal incontinence from the general outpatient clinic had reported their symptoms to a medical practitioner. Anal incontinence affects many women, but only a minority seek help. Obstetrician-gynecologists should systematically inquire about the presence of this symptom.
