Fecal incontinence: The workup of fecal incontinence, and all medical complaints, should begin with a focused history and physical. Flexible sigmoidoscopy with or without anoscopy is recommended for most patients. Anorectal manometry may elucidate the diagnosis and is most useful when a very low sphincter pressure is detected. Damage to the anal sphincter or pudendal nerve can result from prior surgery.
