Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have found excessive perineal descent to be associated with a variety of anorectal problems and have reviewed the clinical features in 29 patients who were noted to have excessive perineal descent as measured by perineometer. The condition mostly occurs in women and is usually associated with straining at stool, rectal bleeding, mucus discharge, perineal or abdominal pain and urinary incontinence.
