Bladder and Bowel Incontinence Management Training

Helping Clients Manage Incontinence Through Bladder and Bowel Incontinence Management Training

Bladder and Bowel incontinence, which is the inability to control the urge to urinate or defecate, can be a sensitive topic for anyone who has it. Symptoms include the loss of urine when one coughs, exercises, or sneezes. If such a condition isn't handled, it can lead to infections. Incontinence also leads to dependency, social isolation and body dysmorphia. This condition can be difficult for clients who want to socialize or want to have a semblance of normalcy in their life. The good news is, there is promise in being able to regain the ability to control these actions through the use of bowel and bladder training.

It is important for care providers to understand how bladder and bowel incontinence comes to happen and how they can help clients manage it through bowel and bladder training as it will allow clients to retain a sense of independence.
