NEW NIH PROGRAM MAKES IT EASIER TO TALK ABOUT A DIFFICULT GI PROBLEM
.
.
A new program to help patients and health care professionals feel more
comfortable talking about bowel control problems is now available from the
National Institutes of Health.
.
Bowel control problems affect an estimated 18 million U.S. adults-1 out of
12 people. People with bowel control problems are often reluctant to
discuss the condition, even with their doctor. The Bowel Control Awareness
Campaign and its Web resources raises awareness of bowel control problems,
also known as fecal incontinence. Women and older adults are at risk for
developing fecal incontinence. Increased body mass, decreased physical
activity, depression, and diabetes may also increase risk.
.
The awareness campaign stems from the recommendations of an independent
panel of experts convened by the NIH to assess the current prevalence,
risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and management of the condition.
.
"Fecal incontinence is a significant public health burden in the United
States-affecting close to 10 percent of the adult population over 40 years
old," said Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D., director of the National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), the NIH Institute
leading the effort. "The Bowel Control Awareness Campaign's main
objective is raising public awareness to aid in prevention of incontinence
and to improve the lives of men and women living with the condition."
.
Developed by the NIDDK, along with professional and voluntary
organizations that focus on fecal incontinence, the awareness campaign
offers the following resources about the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment,
and management of bowel control problems for patients and health care
professionals:
.
.
-- A fact sheet on fecal incontinence
-- An easy-to-read booklet on bowel control
-- A flyer about bowel control for health fairs
-- NIH bowel control research information
-- Links to professional and voluntary organization
.
.
These resources are available through the Awareness Campaign's website at
.
http://www.bowelcontrol.nih.gov
.
and the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse's website at
.
http://www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov
.
The embarrassment associated with fecal incontinence can have a crippling
impact on quality of life for millions, and the condition is believed to
be widely under-diagnosed.
.
"The lack of communication between health care professionals and patients
appears to be one of the main challenges with bowel control problems.
Being able to talk about the problem is the first step in both prevention
and treatment," said Stephen P. James, M.D., director of the Division of
Digestive Diseases and Nutrition at the NIDDK. "People experiencing bowel
control problems need to know they are not alone and that the condition
can be managed. The Bowel Control Awareness Campaign will inform health
care professionals and the public that bowel incontinence is a common
condition and that effective treatments are available."
.
NIDDK, part of NIH, conducts and supports basic and clinical research and
research training on some of the most common, severe and disabling
conditions affecting Americans. The Institute's research interests
include: diabetes and other endocrine and metabolic diseases; digestive
diseases, nutrition, and obesity; and kidney, urologic and hematologic
diseases. For more information, visit
