Faecal incontinence occurs when a person loses the ability to control their bowel movements and results in leakage of gas, liquid or solid stool. Embarrassment is a common feeling along people with faecal incontinence symptoms and can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and social isolation, with people scared to leave their house due to fear of episodes of incontinence. Bowel Incontinence is not a disease in itself but is a symptom or sign and there are many different causes. Finding out the cause is very helpful in order for the right treatment to be given.
