Fecal Incontinence

Fecal incontinence is a condition that is characterized by the inability to control the passing of feces. It can have a significant impact on one’s quality of life, as it can cause physical, emotional, and social distress. While treatments exist to help manage the condition, it is important to note that fecal incontinence is a highly underdiagnosed condition, so it is vital to recognize the signs and get a proper diagnosis from a medical professional for proper treatment. Treatment may include lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, medications, biofeedback, and sometimes surgical intervention.
