Faecal Incontinence

Faecal incontinence is the inability to control bowel movements, leading to unintended leakage of stool. It can result from various causes, including muscle or nerve damage, certain medical conditions (like diabetes or multiple sclerosis), or even constipation. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, causing embarrassment and social withdrawal. Treatment options vary based on the cause and may include dietary changes, medications, pelvic floor exercises, or surgery in severe cases. Consulting a healthcare provider is essential for proper diagnosis and management.
