A retrospective study was designed, including patients with symptoms of FI who attended a Digestive Motility Unit. Women who initiated symptoms of FI immediately postpartum (Group 1) or years after delivery (Group 2) were compared. Women with history of caesarean section without any vaginal delivery, nulliparas, >50 years of age, only flatus incontinence and women with other possible etiological factor for FI were excluded.
