Incontinence is the loss of bladder or bowel control, which affects people of all ages and both genders. There are many forms and degrees of incontinence, from having a dribble to having total loss of control. It affects millions of people both in north america and worldwide. There are over 19 million people in the USA that have some form of incontinence. It's a distressing condition that leaves a lot of people isolated and that many consider a taboo.
There are many ways to manage incontinence. From medication, catheters or using adult size diapers (cloth and disposables). There are also books and companies (websites) that have great information on how to deal with, and manage, incontinence.
