Incontinence is a body problem: you cannot control when liquid waste (urine, wee) or solid waste (poo) leaves your body. It can happen to older people, to people after some operations or illnesses, and sometimes to children who have not yet learned that control. Doctors talk about incontinence of urine and incontinence of solid waste.
