What this Trial Is About
This research aims to find out how common anal incontinence is among Hungarian women who have given birth at least once. It also looks at how anal incontinence affects their quality of life and physical activity. Additionally, the study will adapt and test the Hungarian version of the International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire - Bowels (ICIQ-B) to check its accuracy and reliability. The study does not involve treatments but observes participants over about three years. During this time, researchers will monitor the impact of anal incontinence on quality of life and physical activity. They will also evaluate the adapted ICIQ-B questionnaire to see how well it works for Hungarian speakers. Participants will be women aged 18 to 50 who speak Hungarian and have given birth before. Researchers will collect information about anal incontinence and other pelvic floor symptoms using questionnaires. They will assess global quality of life as well. The study will last around three years, during which participants' health and activity will be followed to understand the condition's effects better.
