AZUA BLANCO, Mª Dolores  and  DOMINGUEZ OLIVAN, Pilar. Personal complications in patients with fecal incontinence syndrome. Gerokomos [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.4, pp.38-42. ISSN 1134-928X.

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".

Keywords : Fecal incontinence; physical impact; psychological impact; social impact; economical impact.
