Drug: oestradiol |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | A Pilot Study to Examine the Efficacy of Vaginally Administered Oestradiol in the Treatment of Faecal Incontinence in Post Menopausal Women |
Estimated Enrollment: | 43 |
Study Start Date: | March 2006 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | October 2007 |
Faecal incontinence affects about 5% of women, the most common cause is often cited by women as obstetric trauma. However in clinical practice many women report that their symptoms of faecal incontinence begin around the same time as menopause. A community survey examining the prevalence of faecal incontinence in menopausal women is in progress. If a correlation is found between the onset of menopause and the development of faecal incontinence, further investigation of effective treatment will be indicated.
The investigators want to investigate whether vaginally administered oestradiol can alleviate or improve symptoms in women who have faecal incontinence after the menopause. This is a pilot study.
