> Obstetric trauma is often cited as the most common cause of faecal
> incontinence in adults, and in the clinical practice of specialist
> units that manage faecal incontinence, childbirth-related onset of
> symptoms and definable obstetric injuries to the anal sphincter are
> by far the largest group seen. Yet there has been remarkably little
> research on prevention of maternal birth trauma, nor on treatment of
> those who develop bowel problems.
