Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Possible causes for incontinence are
1. Alzheimer's disease.
2. Chronic laxative abuse.
3. Constipation.
4. Diarrhea.
5. Muscle damage during surgery or delivery, etc.
6. Nerve damage in prolonged straining.
7. Rectal malignancy or rectal prolapse etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Use adult diapers, check for electrotechnical status.

Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care.
