New Edition of The Informer

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Jacqueline Cahill

We’re proud to announce the release of the Winter 2011 edition of The Informer. This issue is dedicated to the devastating condition of fecal incontinence. Here’s an excerpt from this publication:

Perhaps the most debilitating thing about incontinence is the psychological effect that it has on people. Many people who begin to experience involuntary leakage of urine or feces experience profound embarrassment, which can be so severe that they can’t bring themselves to reveal their symptoms to their physician or to seek information about how to manage their problem effectively. Beneath these difficulties is the idea that people look down on anyone who cannot control their bladder or bowels. This fear of other people’s reactions is the essence of the stigma of incontinence.

Dr. Thomas Alloway, Ph.D.
President, TCCF
From the Winter 2011 edition of “The Informer”
