Contience assessment tools are standardized questionnaires or checklists used by healthcare professionals to evaluate an individual’s bladder and bowel control issues. These tools help identify the severity, frequency, and impact of incontinence on daily life. They guide diagnosis and inform appropriate treatment plans, ensuring patients receive personalized care. Examples include the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire (ICIQ) and voiding diaries, which track patterns over time, providing valuable insights for managing incontinence effectively.
