Stool Incontinence in Children
Introduction
Stool incontinence is the inappropriate passing of bowel movements that is not caused by illness or physical abnormality. Stool incontinence can be voluntary or involuntary. It occurs in about 3 to 4% of 4-year-old children and becomes less common as age increases. It occurs most often in conjunction with Toilet Training or starting school.
