Incontinence, You Are Not Alone!
Are you suffering from incontinence? We are here to help you.
Among Australians, 13% of men and 37% of women have urinary incontinence, and 20% of men and 12.9% of women have fecal incontinence according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report, 2006.
Usually you have a hold over your urine and stools. You can hold them till you want to use your washroom and your pelvic muscles help you do that. Pelvic muscles are the muscles in your bottom near your anus and urethra. However, weak pelvic floor muscles can make it difficult for you to control these urges and that is known as incontinence. In incontinence, urine and stools leak unintentionally. Urinary incontinence is more common than fecal (stools) incontinence which is usually seen in the aged. |
