Urinary incontinence information

Urinary Incontinence Information

Urinary incontinence information is readily available at many local doctor's offices. Urinary incontinence is the inability to control the flow of urine.

There are many reasons for urinary incontinence and the leakage can range from mild or occasional to an inability to hold any urine.

Excess stress, injuries, urinary tract or bladder abnormalities, childbirth, surgery and age are just a few of the reasons adults become incontinent. About half of all elderly adults will have or develop some level of incontinence and women are more likely than men to be affected with the condition.

While incontinence is not normally considered a life threatening condition, it can be inconvenient and embarrassing.

There is good urinary incontinence information and many incontinence products available for uncontrollable urination and moisture management. There are reusable items, such as washable incontinence pants and incontinence liners , that can hold light to moderately heavy urine flow.

Disposable pants, pads, liners and full diapers are another option and provide a wide range of absorbencies. The amount and frequency of urine lost will ultimately determine the best protection and comfort.

The good news is that urinary incontinence information, along with many other senior health issues and concerns like A Guide to Senior Health Insurance are readily available on the internet.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services also addresses many better health, safety and wellbeing topics.

Incontinence.org , the National Association for Continence , the Simon Foundation for Continence , and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases are great resources for incontinence information and services.
