Incontinence products are an integral part of the management of bowel and urinary leaks, whatever their cause. While they are not curative treatments, incontinence products are essential to a healthy skin and proper lifestyle management.
Because of the delicate nature of the topic of incontinence some patients jump to the conclusion that if they ignore it, it will go away. But burying their heads in the sand only complicates matters further. The product needs to be used after consultation with a physician. Not only because the underlying cause of incontinence needs to be addressed, but also because physicians are most equipped to help patients choose among the variety of products available on the market.
