Continence Assessment

Continence assessment is the process of evaluating a person's ability to control their bladder and bowel functions. It usually involves interviews, questionnaires, and sometimes physical examinations to understand the individual's situation better. This assessment helps healthcare providers identify issues like incontinence (inability to control these functions) and develop personalized treatment plans. The goal is to improve the person's quality of life by addressing any problems and offering solutions, such as lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises, medications, or medical devices. Ultimately, it aims to help individuals regain confidence and comfort in managing their bodily functions.
