Summary

Fecal Incontinence affects an estimated 2-20% of the general population, and up to 50% of the elderly and institutionalized population. Patients with incontinence tend to suffer in silence; they often do not seek help because of embarrassment and stigma. They often become confined to their homes because they are afraid of having an "accident". Although this is not a life-threatening condition, the psychological, emotional, and social impact can be devastating.
