10Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence refers to the inability to control your bowel movements, which causes feces or stool to leak suddenly from your rectum. Also known as bowel incontinence, this condition would range from a complete loss of your bowel control to frequent leakage of feces. It is caused when hemorrhoids prevent the anus from completely closing. In addition, some other conditions such as nerve or muscle damage, constipation, as well as diarrhea would also trigger fecal incontinence. Whatever the underlying case, it would be embarrassing. But do not be shy, but make sure to talk to your doctor quickly to prevent further complications. This condition would be treated with some therapies, dietary changes, or medications. [10]
