Both women, men, and teenagers can have their lives severely impacted by the difficulties that incontinence can bring. Incontinence is often thought of as a taboo subject but is a widespread worldwide condition that doesn’t discriminate between male and female, size, shape, physical or mental capability, or even age.
Incontinence describes any accidental or involuntary loss of, urine (number 1) from the bladder (known as urinary incontinence) and feces (number 2) or flatus (wind) from the bowel (known as fecal incontinence). Incontinence can range in severity from a small leak to complete loss of bladder or bowel control.
Research also tells us that in Australia around 1 in 100 adolescents regularly wet the bed during the night and that between 20,000 and 60,000 children aged from 13 to 18 experience some form of incontinence.
