If you don't know about incontinence, you are
risking your health!
In every stage of life, our bodies undergo
several changes - internally as well as
externally. Some of these changes can bring
major disruptions in ones daily routine and put
an end to their freedom to enjoy life. One of the
disorders that results in lifestyle changes for
people is urinary incontinence. This is a medical
condition where one experiences a sudden,
intense urge to urinate followed by an
involuntary loss of urine. The bladder muscles do
not work well to allow one to hold and release
urine at the right time, instead it suddenly
empties itself without warning. The flow of
urine and its severity may depend from person to
person. Many people experience it occasionally,
with minor leaks of urine while others may lose
small or moderate amounts of urine more
frequently due to several reasons. Urinary
incontinence is known to affect older people more
often than younger people. This is because as one
ages, the muscles in the urinary bladder and
urethra lose some of their strength and reduce
the capacity of the bladder to hold urine. This
increases the chances of leaking urine
involuntarily. Due to the difference in the male
and female anatomy, the reason and diagnosis for
urinary incontinence differs between men and
women. It has been found out that women are more
likely to have incontinence because pregnancy,
childbirth and menopause weaken the bladder
muscles and raise the pressure inside the
abdomen. To reduce the health risk and manage
incontinence effectively, doctors often advice
patients to use diaper sheets and overnight
diapers for adults. Overnight diapers for adults
are the most viable option for patients suffering
from a physical or mental impairment like
arthritis, multiple sclerosis or strokes which
prevents them from reaching the bathroom on
time. They are super-absorbent and provide
comfort for hours even during heavy leakage.
Diaper sheets for adults are disposable
incontinence sheets that absorb the flow and
protect the clothes and bed covers from stains.
These can be used for long periods and changed in
minutes. Adult diapers are known to help in
bringing back the aazadi or freedom to patients
for living their life without restrictions.
These days, adult diapers along with other
incontinence products like diaper pants and
diaper sheets for adults can be bought online.
However, while buying adult diapers online, one
should not compromise on the quality of the
diaper in their efforts to find a cheaper
product. Poor quality adult diapers can increase
health risks, which one should be familiar with.
The constant dribbling of urine and wetness in
the private parts can lead to infections, rashes
and itches on the skin and bring forth more
troubles. This is why caretakers or patients must
spend time to do complete research of the
different kinds of adult diaper and other
incontinence products that are available online,
and choose the best quality product which fulfils
all their needs. Although adult diapers are a
great way to manage incontinence, a person should
have thorough knowledge of bladder training and
Kegel exercises that can be done to strengthen
and tighten pelvic muscles. One should also
avoid certain drinks and foods that stimulates
the bladder and increases the need to urinate
like alcoholic beverages, caffeine, artificial
sweeteners and foods that are high in spice,
sugar or acid. Smoking habits should be cut down
too, as tobacco may increase the risk of urinary
incontinence. People who have a close family
member dealing with urinary incontinence or
those who have diabetes must take precautions in
advance as they run the risk of developing the
condition. In case one suffers from a leaky
bladder, they should not feel embarrassed and
openly discuss the condition with a doctor or a
healthcare professional. Getting an accurate
diagnosis and timely help can allay all the fears
and anxiety in the patients mind. They get the
aazadi to continue all their activities with zest.
