Her BE and sigmoidoscopy were normal. The evaluation of fecal incontinence of uncertain etiology demands physiologic testing. Proctosigmoidoscopy has excluded colonic pathology and impaction. Anal manometry may suggest pudendal nerve damage which may further be elucidated by needle electromyography. Transanal ultrasound may reveal visible muscular defects which correlate with findings from the latter two modalities. Many patients so tested may be candidates for nonsurgical initial treatment.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
