Personal complications in patients with fecal incontinence síndrome
Azúa Blanco Mª.D., Domínguez Oliván P.

SUMMARY

   The involuntary loss of fecal mass, not being really a disease in itself is, at times, to the person who suffers, more important that the situation that provokes. Steal the body and use it, it is more, steal their mind, their thoughts, their sensations, feelings and fears; Do you feel his mental tension when closing the door? Do you cry of anger and sadness when changing stained clothes? This is just a thousandth part of what happens. Imagine at age of 70 or 80, with a tired and slow body, with the mind not very willing to fight and with this “little problem”.

KEY WORDS
