Bladder Control for Disabled and Elderly People
It is the involuntary leakage of urine. It is very stressful and embarrassing. Many types of urinary incontinence are treatable and result from some sort of medical condition.
As discussed on idiaper.com, urine leakage basically is a problem of the bladder pressure exceeding urethral pressure. The urethra and bladder are in the pelvis area. Intra-abdominal pressure caused from coughing and or sneezing apply pressure on the urethra and bladder at the same time resulting in incontinence . Normal urinating is the result of urethral pressure falling and bladder pressure rising. Thus when a person coughs or sneezes – the urethra pressure stays the same and the bladder pressure increases causing leakage. This is stress incontinence.
Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause are some of the most common reasons for stress incontinence, where the pelvic floor muscles have been weakened and no longer function normally. The more the muscles weaken, the greater the level of incontinence. IDiaper.com sells a large variety of adult diapers for all incontinence needs. There are both reusable and disposable products.
