Bladder control disorders and urinary incontinence
About Bladder Control Disorders
Incontinence: A common problem in the elderly, but not a normal part of the aging process...Incontinence, or involuntary urine leakage, affects 17 million Americans and occurs twice as often in women as in men. Although incontinence occurs more often in older people than in younger adults, it is not considered a normal part of the aging process. Changes with age do occur increasing the potential for problems, but usually with treatment the symptoms can be controlled or cured. The key is to ask your doctor or health care provider for help. Take the bladder assessment tool to see if you should seek further medical evaluation.
