Fecal incontinence

Fecal incontinence or anal incontinence (copracrasia) refers to the inability to control faeces and gases at will and to flow out of the anus involuntarily. It is a symptom of defecation dysfunction, also known as fecal incontinence. The incidence of anal incontinence is not high, but it is not uncommon. Although it is not a direct threat to life, it causes physical and mental pain to patients and seriously interferes with normal life and work.
