Incontinence

Incontinence is the involuntary loss of control over urination or bowel movements, leading to unintentional leakage. It can affect people of all ages, but is more common in older adults. Factors contributing to incontinence include various medical conditions, certain medications, childbirth, and surgeries. There are different types of incontinence, such as urinary incontinence (leaking urine) and fecal incontinence (leaking stool). While it can be a sensitive issue, it is important to remember that incontinence is a medical condition, and there are often effective treatments and management strategies available to help those affected.
