The prevalence rates of anal incontinence, constipation, and difficult defecation were 8.0, 38.0, and 25.7%, respectively. The risk factors associated with anorectal dysfunction were age and number of parity. Anorectal dysfunction was prevalent among women with urinary incontinence; age and number of parity were the risk factors.
