Women's Resource
This webpage is for women with anal incontinence and their families. The content has been developed with injured women, who told us what they would find useful. Excerpts from real women’s accounts of their experiences of anal incontinence are presented in the sections below, along with signposting to additional resources.
A massive THANK YOU to the 41 women who gave up their time to and spoke so candidly about their experiences during interviews. Your participation has allowed us to develop this resource for women, informed an educational tool for GPs and publications.
