Incontinence Care
Incontinence care involves managing the involuntary loss of urine or feces, which can affect individuals of all ages. This care includes using products like adult diapers, absorbent pads, and bed protectors to maintain hygiene and comfort. It also encompasses strategies for improving bladder and bowel control, such as scheduled toileting and pelvic floor exercises.
Healthcare professionals may provide education on proper skin care to prevent irritation and infections. Incontinence care can also involve discussing lifestyle changes, such as diet and fluid intake, to help manage symptoms effectively. Support from family and caregivers is essential for emotional well-being.
