Although faecal incontinence is less common that urinary incontinence, it is more devastating to the sufferer, due to society’s view of faecal incontinence. Estimated to affect approximately 2% of the population in the UK, faecal incontinence is more common in women and becomes more prevalent with age.
It is likely that faecal incontinence is reported less often than urinary incontinence due to the shame and embarrassment felt by those who suffer from the condition. This is unfortunate, as faecal incontinence is often a sign of another problem, and these other problems are often highly treatable. Visiting a doctor for a proper diagnosis and tests can lead to effective treatment for those who suffer from faecal incontinence. Don’t wait- if you suffer from faecal incontinence, visit your physician soon, so that you can work together to find a solution.
