Fecal incontinence can be a socially challenging disease with a high prevalence in the elderly population. Due to the lack of universally accepted criteria to define “elderly patients” and the difficulties in diagnosis and diagnosis, literature on the subject is scarce in this population group. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness about fecal incontinence in elderly patients. Toilet training, dietary changes and medication can be used in the treatment of these patients. However, other treatments such as biofeedback, neuromodulation, or surgical treatment may be considered in selected patients. Constipation is defined as infrequent defecation or difficulty in evacuating stool. Constipation can be classified as primary or secondary, and primary constipation is subdivided into normal transit time, slow transit time, dyssynergic defecation. Diagnosis includes laboratory tests and structural evaluation, followed by a therapeutic trial of fiber and laxatives, and finally special tests. Treatment may consist of dietary changes, medications, biofeedback therapy, and possibly surgery in refractory cases.
