Faecal Incontinence

📖What is Faecal Incontinence?

Faecal incontinence is the involuntary loss of bowel control, resulting in the unintentional passage of stool or gas, ranging from occasional minor leakage to a complete loss of bowel control. It can significantly affect quality of life, causing embarrassment and social withdrawal, and often results from damage to the anal sphincter muscles, the nerves controlling bowel function, or the rectal reservoir's ability to store stool. It is more common in older adults and women, particularly those with a history of childbirth-related injury, but can affect people of any age depending on the underlying cause.
