What Causes Abnormal Bowel Movements In The Elderly Males?

My husband s bowel habits have changed tremendously. If he feels the urge to go to the bathroom he can t hold it. He has had an accident the last three days. Once he feels the urge, he tries to get to the bathroom, but doesn t make it. He can t hold it and once it starts he can t stop it. Before when he felt the urge to go, he had about five minutes to find a bathroom. But now it s pretty much instantaneously. What does this sound like? He is very worried. He is 50 years old.
