Many otherwise healthy, active individuals suffer from incontinence. Fecal incontinence (also called bowel incontinence or anal incontinence) affects people of all ages. It may be defined as the involuntary loss of solid or liquid stool sufficient enough to result in impaired quality of life for the individual.

Frequent or involuntary passage of gas (flatus) without loss of fecal material, while not clinically defined as incontinence, may also impair a person's quality of life and warrant treatment.

Incontinence is a distressing and isolating condition. Many people fail to report it, even to their own physician.

Incontinence significantly impacts on social and work related aspects of an individual's life.
