Fecal incontinence, either occasional or chronic, affects between 10 to 20 percent of the population. Some causes of fecal/bowel incontinence include nerve or muscle damage, rectal cancer, or rectal prolapse.
Urinary incontinence is far more prevalent. Over half of all seniors experience occasional or chronic urinary incontinence. Some causes of urinary continence include prostate enlargement or prostate cancer in men and can be caused by menopause, childbirth, or urinary tract infections in women.
These types of incontinence need not limit a person's activities. The wide array of products available to manage fecal and urinary incontinence makes it possible to live a full, active life regardless.
Bladder control pads are the perfect solution for light or mild urinary incontinence. With a comfortable fit and added absorbency, these pads fit snugly inside a regular undergarment. The super-absorbent polymer construction prevents leakage while controlling odors.
For more serious cases of urinary incontinence, try a full brief. The Medical Maven offers the
