How to Cope with Incontinence
What You Need to Know About Incontinence to Live Life Fully Determine what triggers incontinence before you take action. Incontinence may be a temporary symptom associated with other problems. |
 |
|
Some examples are a debilitating illness or injury that requires long-term bed rest; a drug you are taking; a program of exercise that causes the release of droplets of urine during stress; or a sudden flare-up of kidney stones. Knowing your own body and analyzing your current lifestyle may indicate remedial actions you can begin immediately. For example, change in the pace of exercise; eliminate "water pills" from your dieting program; read the label or ask your physician if the antihistamine you are taking for allergy relief can be causing incontinence. If incontinence persists, consult your physician and give him/her the benefit of the knowledge you have gained from this article. Ask your physician how he or she can help. Among traditional options your physician will consider for dealing with incontinence are surgery, drug therapy, behavior modification and symptom management options such as absorbent products. In all cases, your physician's first thought will be to remove the cause of the incontinence. |
