Bowel Incontinence
Bowel incontinence, or faecal incontinence, refers to the involuntary loss of control over bowel movements, leading to unexpected stool leakage. This condition can result from various causes, including muscle or nerve damage, chronic constipation, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis. Effective treatments include dietary changes, medications, and pelvic floor exercises.
