Dr. Mohammed Hatem AlsubaihWhat is fecal incontinence?
Stool escapes without adequate control, either with urgency or without awareness. Gas-control difficulty is also relevant but is not identical to every form of stool leakage.
How can I describe it?
Record leakage type, frequency, stool consistency, pad use and childbirth or surgery history. These clinical details guide treatment and do not automatically imply surgery.
