Fecal incontinence?: Occasional incontinence of stool with fecal leakage is common, but loss of bowel control particularly without warning may signal a significant infection, inflammatory problem, maldigestive concern, or neurologic disorder. Sometimes, particularly in youths, the condition is behavioral. Often, anal manometry followed by biofeedback can be curative without the need of surgery or medication.

Third degree: If you have very large hemmorhoids that prevent the anal muscles from closing fully you may see some leakage. Also it can be from prolapsing tissue causing mucous to leak and be deposited in the area. You also should be tested and examined by a specialist that deals with these problems to make sure there arent other causes for the fecal incontinence.
