Natural Remedies for Incontinence
What is Incontinence?
Incontinence
Incontinence is defined as difficulty with the normal ability to hold urine (urinary incontinence) or feces (fecal incontinence) until a convenient time, resulting in wetting or soiling. Both types may co-exist in the same patient.
Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence can be caused by mechanical problems with the bladder such as prostate difficulties in men - often as a result of treatment for prostate cancer or more benign prostate enlargement. In women the problem may be caused by prolapse after childbirth. In both sexes it can be a result of damage to the nerves either locally as in back injury or from a more widespread nerve damage as in MS.
See also Bed Wetting.
Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence is a less common problem but may be caused by the same illnesses as urinary incontinence. It can also be caused as a side effect of cancer treatment, or as a symptom of cancer where the nervous control of the bowel or bladder is impaired
Also helpful may be bed wetting, Multiple Sclerosis and senior care.
