What is incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is defined by the NHS as ‘the unintentional passing of urine.’ It’s a common condition that has been found to affect millions of people. There are multiple different types of urinary incontinence, these include:
– Stress incontinence – urine leaks out at times when your bladder is under pressure; for example, when you cough, laugh or sneeze.
– Urge incontinence – urine leaks as you feel a sudden, intense urge to pee, or soon afterwards.
– Overflow incontinence (chronic urinary retention) – when you’re unable to fully empty your bladder, which causes frequent leaking.
– Total incontinence – when your bladder cannot store any urine at all, which causes you to pass urine constantly or have frequent leaking.
How you can prevent urinary incontinence
It’s not always possible to prevent incontinence, but there are some steps you can take that may help reduce the chance of it happening or the frequency.
These include:
– Maintaining a healthy weight
– Avoiding or cutting down on alcohol
– Staying active and ensuring that your pelvic floor muscles are strong
How we can help you
[site_name] Pharmacy provides incontinence products in [pharmacy_location]. Incontinence products are a range of absorbent disposable pants designed to manage urinary and/or faecal incontinence. The products have a flexible shape designed to fit close to the body, and an absorbent core to help reduce the risk of leakage, provide odour protection and skin dryness.
It is important to choose the correct absorbency and size and our team can help you do this. To do this, we (or you) will need to measure the hips and waist and select the larger of the two measurements, then select the appropriate absorbency level. The wetness indicator on the pad acts as a guide to when the pant requires changing.
