Let’s face it; incontinence
is never a popular topic of conversation in private, let alone at the holiday
party. But did you know that over 18 million Americans are incontinent? Did you
also know that 85 percent of them are women?
Fortunately there's good news. Almost 80 percent of the
cases mentioned above can either be cured or improved through proper medical
attention.
Incontinence is defined as difficulty/inability in
controlling proper elimination of waste passing out of the urinary or digestive
tracts. If any portion of the urinary or
digestive tract fails to perform its proper activities incontinence can
result. Before you can treat incontinence
you should meet with your doctor to figure out exactly what type of
incontinence you have and what your options are for treatment.
Understand that incontinence is a symptom and not a disease
as some might think. Changes in daily habits, exercise, nutrition, and
medication regimens can vastly improve continence for some and completely cure it
for others. Usually the true answer lies in a combination of some or all of the
above-mentioned. In extreme cases restorative surgery may be in order.
