Bulgarian term or phrase: изпускам се
Here's the context:

Имали ли сте изхождане през изминалата нощ докато спяхте (включително или да сте ходили до тоалетната, или да сте се изпуснали)?

From the context, I think it means something like "have an accident" or "poop your pants," but I've never encountered this expression before.

have bowel incontinence
Explanation:
The sentence from the provided context sounds formal in Bulgarian, so expressions such as "poop one's pants" or "poop oneself without knowing" should be avoided.

Here's my two cents worth:
Did you have bowel movement last night while sleeping (including going to the toilet/bathroom or having bowel incontinence)?

Wet one's bed/wet the bed/wet oneself


Explanation:
I think the reference goes more about pissing than pooping. The first one is sometimes made involuntarily while the second usually requires some effort (not always, however).

neutral  Georgi Kovachev: If bowel incontinence is concerned, then "poop your pants" is the right phrase.
