What is incontinence?
Incontinence is a condition that affects the control of bladder or bowel movements. It can cause unintentional leakage of urine or feces, leading to embarrassing situations and affecting a person’s quality of life. Incontinence can occur due to various reasons, such as weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, hormonal changes, or certain medical conditions. It is more common in older adults, women who have given birth, and individuals with certain health issues. However, it is important to note that incontinence is not a normal part of aging and can be managed or treated with the help of healthcare professionals.
