One-third to one-quarter of the adult population suffers from incontinence at some point. It is a common medical condition that can limit daily activities and interfere with a person’s quality of life. The good news is that there are many ways to deal with incontinence. Medical professionals are here to support people living with incontinence. Even men can experience urinary incontinence. For these men, the right medical care can help reduce the burden of incontinence.
While some people might not understand the full impact of incontinence, those who live with it know that it can be debilitating. Living with incontinence is exhausting, and many patients feel as if their entire life revolves around the toilet. However, once an incontinent episode is controlled and an effective bowel management programme is in place, incontinence patients feel they are in control of their lives. There are a range of daily aids available to help those who suffer with mobility issues and those who need assistance in the bathroom, for example.

Speaking openly about your condition with others can help ease the burden of incontinence. Not only does it make the situation more manageable, it can also raise the level of conversation. Speaking directly about bowel problems with loved ones is more mature than hiding your incontinence from family members and care partners. Moreover, wearing clothes that are easy to remove can help people deal with it on a daily basis. Many of these clothes are elasticated and light-weight.
