Everyone will experience an episode of incontinence sometime during their adult life but it will be a small incident and quickly forgotten. However for many women, and some men, light adult incontinence can become a regular part of their day to day life. This of course is not a desirable position to be in nor should there be any reason to live with it as there are many treatment options available.
But the fact is that this condition is woefully underreported. For many women they think that the condition is too minor to bring up with their medical provider. This is particularly true of women who have had multiple births of difficult births and believe that incontinence is simply a part of the pregnancy and childbirth process. For starters that's a wrong assumption and not getting medical help can be injurious to overall health.
Incontinence is not a disease unto itself but rather a symptom of something else going on in the body. It's important to know what is causing the continence issue as it may be a warning sign for some other serious condition or disease.
Incontinence is caused by a number of conditions. Many times the causes turn out to be simple lifestyle issues like inadequate exercise, obesity and a poor selection of foods and liquids. However there are other diseases and conditions that are more serious like infections, nerve damage and diabetes and there is no way of knowing just what the cause is without getting examined by your doctor.
There have been tremendous advances in the treatment of light adult incontinence over the past decade. Non-invasive, natural therapies are still the preferred method of managing and curing the condition but other advances in medication and surgical procedures are now less risky and more effective. In short, there is no reason to tolerate this condition because there is a treatment for every individual situation.
Treatments and therapies can take a bit of time to completely cure the problem so in the interim the use of incontinence products is recommended. Once again these products have changed dramatically in recent years and bear no resemblance to the adult diapers of yesteryear. Today's products resemble regular underwear and are far more efficient both in absorption and in keeping the wearer dry.
Light adult incontinence does not have to be part of your life. A visit to your physician can be the start of becoming free of this annoying and embarrassing condition.
