Prevalence and Severity of Fecal Incontinence in Veterans.

Conclusion: FI is a common complaint and under-recognized problem in the male-dominant Veteran population. Despite its prevalence, relatively few participants were asked about FI, with even less being treated. Due to the possible effects and implications on quality of life, more should be done to recognize this condition and arrange treatment. PMID: 31587549 [PubMed]
