Résumé

L’obésité est maintenant reconnue comme facteur de risque de désordres pelviens (DP). Les DP comprennent l’incontinence urinaire (IU), l’existence d’un prolapsus organique pelvien et l’incontinence anale (IA). Ils sont associés à une altération significative de la qualité de vie (QDV). L’IA est significativement plus souvent présente chez l’obèse, en règle associée à l’IU. L’hyperpression abdominale associée à l’obésité est un des mécanismes de l’IA. La correction de l’obésité est un traitement curatif et préventif de l’IA.

Abstract

Obesity is now recognized as a risk factor for pelvic floor disorders (PFD). PFD are urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and anal incontinence. PFD have significant impact on quality of life. Anal incontinence is more present in obese patients, usually associated with urinary incontinence. Abdominal hyperpression caused by obesity is responsible for anal incontinence. Weight loss is associated with improvement of anal incontinence.
