Definition: Fecal incontinence is usually in the form of diarrhea and may develop from any number of possible causes. It is more prevalent than might be expected. It is also one of the most embarrassing problems for men to own up to so the true extent of the condition is unknown. What is known is that over $400 million were spent last year in the USA alone on adult diapers.
