Understanding Why
Understanding the cause of incontinence in the person you’re caring for is key to its management. It will help determine if habits and routine can improve the condition, if it’s temporary and what options are available for treatment or management. Consulting with your health care professional is always advised, even if you’re fairly certain of the cause, as they can also assist in applying for government funding to help cover the cost of products if you’re eligible.
