Fecal Incontinence

Fecal incontinence (FI) is an inability to voluntarily control the passage of stool, resulting in an involuntary loss of bowel movement. This condition has a profound impact on quality of life and can be due to a variety of medical conditions, including neurological diseases, musculoskeletal and skeletal disorders, and other problems such as chronic constipation or diarrhea. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause, but commonly involve dietary modifications, medications, pelvic floor muscle training, and in some cases, surgery. Improving the management of fecal incontinence can significantly improve the lives of those affected by it.
