Fecal Incontinence: A Challenge for Patients and Caregivers

Severe fecal incontinence not only causes physical discomfort but also leads to significant psychological and social burdens. Affected individuals often suffer from anxiety over unpleasant odors and social exclusion, which can result in isolation and depression. In hospitals, odor-related issues pose a particular challenge for patients, their relatives, and healthcare staff.
