Gangguan ini menyebabkan kecemasan, distress dan morbiditas. Pasien dengan gangguan ini sering memperlihatkan manifestasi klinis secara tumpang tindih. Pasien dispepsia fungsional seringkali tumang tindih dengan gangguan gastrointestinal lain, termasuk nyeri anorektal fungsional. Keadaan tumpang tindih ini dapat menimbulkan keluhan yang makin berat, kualitas hidup yang lebih buruk dan skor somatisasi yang lebih tinggi, dan pasien mengalami kecemasan, depresi atau insomnia lebih sering dibandingkan pasien yang tanpa problem tumpah tindih. GGIF ditegakkan berdasarkan kriteria Rome III dan eksklusi penyakit organik. Pendekatan multimodalitas dibutuhkan dalam mengatasi pasien yang menderita gangguan gastrointestinal fungsional.

  • Prevalence of Functional Disorders of the Bowel, Rectum, and Anus in a Tertiary Urogynecology Population
    200 Jelovsek J E1, Barber M D1, Walters M D1, Paraiso M F1 1. The Cleveland Clinic Foundation PREVALENCE OF FUNCTIONAL DISORDERS OF THE BOWEL, RECTUM, AND ANUS IN A TERTIARY UROGYNECOLOGY POPULATION Hypothesis / aims of study Straining is frequently mentioned as a possible etiologic factor in pelvic floor disorders and pelvic denervation. Constipation is a disease that results in frequent straining often seen in patients with pelvic floor disorders. The overall prevalence of constipation in the U.S. population is 14.7%, with 4.6% being functional constipation, 4.6% outlet subtype, 2.1% IBS- constipation subtype, and 3.4% IBS-outlet[1]. The prevalence and clinical subtypes of constipation and other functional bowel, rectal and anal disorders have not been well characterized in women with urinary incontinence (UI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The specific aims of this study were: (1) to determine the prevalence of functional bowel disorders as defined by the Rome II criteria in a tertiary urogynecology clinic, (2) to determine the prevalence of subtypes of constipation, and (3) to determine whether demographic, clinical, or physical exam factors are associated with different types functional bowel, anal, and rectal disorders in patients with prolapse and incontinence. Study design, materials and methods This was a cross-sectional study design. One hundred and fifty consecutive female subjects presenting to a tertiary referral, urogynecology clinic were identified. Demographic, general medical, and physical exam information were collected. The prevalence of functional bowel disorders and functional disorders of the anus and rectum as defined by the Rome II criteria[2] were collected.

  • Getting to the Bottom of Pain
    What’s Your Diagnosis? GettingGetting toto thethe BottomBottom ofof PainPain By Daniel S. Mishkin, MDCM; and Barry V. Mishkin, MD 36-year-old female patient presents to your office with intermittent rectal pain and a A sensation of incomplete evacuation over the past eight months. This pain is sensed as an uncomfortable sensation of pressure that is worse after prolonged sitting, and is slowly relieved with walking around. Its frequency varies from one to four times per week and it usually lasts between two and four hours. The patient denies any melena, hematochezia, constipation, diarrhea, or any constitutional symptoms. She has had no relief with the use of NSAIDs, a sitz bath or “hemorrhoidal” cream. She has consulted a gastroenterologist who performed a flexible sigmoidoscopy, which was normal to the splenic flexure. She was told there was nothing abnormal and that her discomfort was most likely related to a psychiatric problem. She now comes to you for help and advice. What’s Your Diagnosis? On examination, she appears healthy and in no apparent distress. Her blood pressure is 120/68 mmHg with a pulse of 72 beats per minute and an oral temperature of 37.2 C. The head and neck, respiratory, cardiac, abdominal, and musculoskeletal exams are all within normal limits. Rectal exam is diffusely tender, grossly normal sphincter tone and the stool is negative for occult blood. Dr. Daniel S. Mishkin is a gastroenterologist at the Albert Dr. Barry V.

FI is defined as the recurrent uncontrolled passage of fecal material for at least 3 months. The clinical features of FI are useful for guiding diagnostic testing and therapy. Anorectal manometry and imaging are useful for evaluating anal and pelvic floor structure and function. Education, antidiarrheals, and biofeedback therapy are the mainstay of management; surgery may be useful in refractory cases.

  • Hurt Blocker the Next Big Pain Drug May Soothe Sensory Firestorms Without Side Effects by Rachel Ehrenberg June 30Th, 2012; Vol.181 #13 (P
    Hurt Blocker The next big pain drug may soothe sensory firestorms without side effects By Rachel Ehrenberg June 30th, 2012; Vol.181 #13 (p. 22) Michael Morgenstern Among a small number of related families from northern Pakistan, some individuals never feel pain in any part of their bodies. Scientists studying six such children found that by the age of 4, they all had injuries to the lips or tongue from repeatedly biting themselves. Bruises, cuts and broken bones were common, though fractures were diagnosed only long after the fact, when weird, painless limping or the inability to use a limb called attention to the injury. Tests showed that the pain-free children perceived sensations of warm and cold, tickling and pressure. They could feel the prick of a needle, but it didn’t hurt. Two had been scalded — painlessly — by hot liquids. And one boy who performed street theater by putting knives through his arms and walking on hot coals died after jumping off a roof on his 14th birthday. Besides their inability to feel pain, the Pakistani individuals studied by the scientists had something else in common: mutations in a gene called SCN9A. That gene encodes the instructions for a protein that forms a passageway for letting sodium ions into nerve cells. Known as Nav1.7, this particular ion channel sits on pain-sensing nerves; when a nerve is stimulated enough to warrant sending a signal to the brain, a flood of sodium ions rush into the cell. Among the pain-free Pakistanis, various mutations in SCN9A altered the blueprints for Nav1.7 in different ways, but with the same result: The channel didn’t work.
