Extractions: In the United States, at least 13 million people have problems holding urine until they can get to a toilet. This loss of urinary control is called "urinary incontinence" or just "incontinence." Although it affects many young people, it usually disappears naturally over time, which suggests that incontinence, for some people, may be a normal part of growing up. No matter when it happens or how often it happens, incontinence causes great distress. It may get in the way of a good night's sleep and is embarrassing when it happens during the day. That's why it is important to understand that occasional incontinence is a normal part of growing up and that treatment is available for most children who have difficulty controlling their bladders. Urination, or voiding, is a complex activity. The bladder is a balloonlike muscle that lies in the lowest part of the abdomen. The bladder stores urine, then releases it through the urethra, the canal that carries urine to the outside of the body. Controlling this activity involves nerves, muscles, the spinal cord, and the brain. The bladder is made of two types of muscles: the detrusor, a muscular sac that stores urine and squeezes to empty, and the sphincter, a circular group of muscles at the bottom or neck of the bladder that automatically stay contracted to hold the urine in and automatically relax when the detrusor contracts to let the urine into the urethra. A third group of muscles below the bladder (pelvic floor muscles) can contract to keep urine back.

Epidemiology And Management Of Female Urinary Incontinence
Short synopsis of studies and links to other papers on UI.
http://www.uib.no/isf/people/synop.htm

Extractions: By Hogne Sandvik Female urinary incontinence (UI) is a condition with severe economic and psychosocial impact . I have studied the epidemiology of UI in the general female population and the prevailing management of UI by Norwegian general practitioners (GPs). Those who are interested in more details, may take a look at the synopsis below. The main conclusions that may be drawn from these studies are that UI is very prevalent among adult women, mostly in the form of stress incontinence. At least 6% may be regarded as potential patients. Although complicated by methodological difficulties, studies of GPs' management indicate that available therapeutic tools are not used to their full potential. A literature review demonstrates that the history is the most important diagnostic tool in general practice, and that the value of clinical investigations is poorly documented. The general purpose of the present investigations was to describe the epidemiology of UI in the adult female population, and to describe the management offered these patients by Norwegian GPs. Secondly, the validity of some of the employed methods was investigated. Studies were undertaken with the following specific aims: to validate a severity index and diagnostic questions for different types of female UI to describe the prevalence of female UI in the general adult population, according to different types and severity

Extractions: Revised 1996 Incontinence is the impaired ability to control gas or stool. Its severity ranges from mild difficulty with gas control to severe loss of control over liquid and formed stools. Incontinence to stool is a common problem, but often it is not discussed due to embarassment. Both bladder and bowel incontinence are problems that tend to increase with age. There are many causes of incontinence. Injury during childbirth is one of the most common causes. These injuries may cause a separation in the anal muscles and decrease in muscle strength. The nerves supplying the anal muscles may also be injured. While some injuries may be recognized immediately following childbirth, many others may go unnoticed and not become a problem until later in life. In these situations, past childbirth may not be recognized as the cause of incontinence. Anal operations or injury to the tissue surrounding the anal region similarly can damage the anal muscles and hinder bowel control. Infections around the anal area may destroy muscle tissue leading to problems of incontinence. In addition, as people age, they experience loss of strength in the anal muscles. As a result, a minor problem in a younger person may become more significant later in life. Diarrhea may be associated with a feeling of urgency or stool leakage due to the frequent liquid stools passing through the anal opening. If bleeding accompanies lack of bowel control, consult your physician. These symptoms may indicate inflammation within the colon (colitis), a rectal tumor, or rectal prolapse - all conditions that require prompt evaluation by a physician.

Extractions: About Incontinence "It's difficult to imagine the devastating impact bowel incontinence can have on a person's life without experiencing it directly. This is a disorder that people feel they must hide from others and talk about only in whispers." Many otherwise healthy, active individuals suffer from incontinence. Fecal incontinence (also called bowel incontinence or anal incontinence) affects people of all ages. It may be defined as the involuntary loss of solid or liquid stool sufficient enough to result in impaired quality of life for the individual.

Extractions: Urinary incontinence is an inability to hold your urine until you get to a toilet. More than 13 million people in the United Statesmale and female, young and oldexperience incontinence. It is often temporary, and it always results from an underlying medical condition. (In this fact sheet, the term "incontinence" will be used to mean urinary incontinence.) Women experience incontinence twice as often as men. Pregnancy and childbirth, menopause, and the structure of the female urinary tract account for this difference. But both women and men can become incontinent from neurologic injury, birth defects, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and physical problems associated with aging. Older women, more often than younger women, experience incontinence. But incontinence is not inevitable with age. Incontinence is treatable and often curable at all ages. If you experience incontinence, you may feel embarrassed. It may help you to remember that loss of bladder control can be treated. You will need to overcome your embarrassment and see a doctor to learn if you need treatment for an underlying medical condition. Incontinence in women usually occurs because of problems with muscles that help to hold or release urine. The body stores urinewater and wastes removed by the kidneysin the bladder, a balloon-like organ. The bladder connects to the urethra, the tube through which urine leaves the body.

Extractions: Incontinence effects millions of people every day. While many adults still "whisper" the word, incontinent products and adult diapers fill a complete aisle in drug and department stores everywhere. Logic would dictate that in our profit driven society, there must be millions of customers for these products. Doctors claim 15 million in the United States alone. We suspect that figure is quite conservative. The IRC provides an opportunity for incontinent adults to hear from others who have traveled the same road. Undergone the same tests. Worn the same diapers. Had the same embarrassing accidents. The sharing of ideas and experiences is what the IRC is all about. Incontinence should not be debilitating. It is merely an inconvenience and modern technology has given us many tools, which allow us to control our problem and go on with our every day lives. Through our articles, product and adult diaper reviews, forum, IRC chat links and manufacturer links, we hope to assist incontinent people in finding the right products for themselves. We will provide the information necessary to allow a person to live with incontinence rather than be controlled by it.
