Can incontinence affect health? Living with incontinence can have an impact on your overall health, particularly your emotional health. Knowing what to expect can help you improve and protect yourself. It is possible to enjoy a good quality of life with incontinence. These tips can help.

Incontinence can increase stress levels

It is estimated that nearly half of people managing incontinence do not seek treatment. Although talking to your doctor may feel embarrassing, ignoring the problem can make things worse. The constant fear of accidents and the isolation that often results is a common cause of depression, anxiety, stress, and frustration. Today there are a number of treatment and management options that reduce or eliminate the symptoms of incontinence. Talking with your healthcare provider can help you develop a plan that works for you. You may even find that you feel confident enough to get back to the activities you enjoy.

Incontinence can impact your physical health

If you are living with overactive bladder or urge incontinence, rushing to the bathroom can put you at risk for falls. The danger is especially great at night. Again, incontinence is treatable. Not seeking treatment can lead to additional challenges such as broken bones and bruises that come with tripping while rushing to the bathroom.
