Incontinence Care: Breaking the Silence

Incontinence is a condition that will impact many people at some stage in their lives. With the right medical help and support, it can be managed and controlled.

​

Unfortunately, sufferers often struggle to talk about their condition, resulting in a detrimental impact to their overall quality of life. The topic of bowel and bladder disfunction can be uncomfortable for many, which can lead to feelings of shame and embarrassment.

​

Social isolation is common, leading to sufferers having feelings of hopelessness and fear. The walls of shame associated with incontinence result in a reduced quality of life, decreased use of health care, stress and discrimination.

​

Unfortunately, due to the stigma surrounding it, incontinence doesn’t get the attention that it deserves, which only serves to perpetuate the problem.

​

It's time to end the loneliness of incontinence by encouraging conversation and open dialogue, so that sufferers can feel comfortable in accessing the right support.

 

End the stigma of incontinence for a better tomorrow.
