CONTINENCE PROBLEMS
Incontinence can affect people in all stages of life. As people are often embarrassed, they may suffer in silence and find their lives severely affected as a result. From children to seniors, incontinence can cause social withdrawal, isolation and depression. The Nurse Continence Advisor can suggest management strategies such as simple exercises and lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce the lifestyle impacts. By doing a thorough assessment, the Nurse Continence Advisor can determine whether the individual can be helped with these strategies or needs to be referred to a specialist.
Aging does not mean it is normal to be incontinent.
Kinds of Incontinence:
