Hello I have gone through your query.
Age is the important thing(10% occurs for people who are >64years) for weakening of sphincter muscles. But 50% of the people who have bladder incontinence also have fecal incontinence.
Fecal impaction and stimulation of sacral nerve are some of the treatment options.
Hope this helped you.
Thanks.
