incontinence awareness

Incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder or bowel control, which can affect people of all ages. It’s a common condition that might result from factors like aging, medical conditions, or muscle weakness. Awareness involves understanding the types, causes, and management options, reducing stigma and encouraging individuals to seek help. Treatments can include lifestyle changes, pelvic exercises, medications, or procedures, depending on the cause. Promoting incontinence awareness helps improve quality of life by fostering open discussion, eliminating shame, and ensuring access to appropriate support and resources.
