RE: Incidence of diseases in male survivors of csa

[Lisa Amaya-Jackson <laj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doug Drossman, MD is a GI specialist with some psychiatry training who has research interests/publications in this area, though I thought it was usually with (adult) female subjects with Irritable Bowel disease and histories CSA.  
He's at the University of NC-Chapel Hill.

Subject:	Incidence of diseases in male survivors of csa


A research student undertaking a qualitative study of experience of services
for adult male survivors has asked me to enquire :
a)whether there is a higher prevalence of colon/bowel disease among male csa
survivors (in a small qual. study he has found that a quarter of the
respondents have bowel disease or malfunction) and
b) whether anyone is aware of protocols available within hospital services
examining such patients. In his cases they had recognised potential
difficulties in undergoing rectal examination and had written to hospitals
asking that this be disclosed to and noted by staff who would undertake the
exam. In each case the letters never reached their destination leading to
speculation about where they had ended up.
