Incontinence

Incontinence is a condition in which a person is unable to control their bladder or bowel movements due to an underlying medical condition. It is a common problem, especially among older adults, and can be caused by a variety of health issues such as nerve damage, physical disabilities, and certain medications. Common symptoms of incontinence include leaking of urine or stool, an urgent need to urinate or defecate, and fecal or urinary incontinence. Treatment for incontinence depends on the underlying condition and can include lifestyle changes, medications, physical therapy, or surgery. Additionally, there are several products available to help manage symptoms, including pads, briefs, and diapers.
