Incontinence is the inability to control bodily functions, particularly the release of urine or feces. This condition can affect people of all ages but is more common in older adults. It can result from various factors, including medical conditions, medications, or physical changes in the body. There are different types of incontinence, such as urinary incontinence, which involves leaking urine, and fecal incontinence, which involves the inability to control bowel movements. Treatment options vary and may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical interventions, depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.
