Abstract
The Impact of Fecal Incontinence on Women’s Sexuality: A Review of the Literature
Although sexuality is an important aspect of women’s quality of life, very few published articles have studied the impact of fecal incontinence (FI) on women’s sexual health. This review aimed to identify and examine the published data relating to the impact of FI on female sexuality.
