Incontinence – Symptoms

Transcript

Often patients with incontinence will develop skin problems in the genital area caused by the excess moisture in the affected area due to leakage. This may lead to red or peeling skin and even yeast infections. Aside from the physical issues, incontinence patients experience fear, anger, and anxiety about their condition. Many patients will often limit their social interactions due to the fear of not having complete bladder control. Worries about leakage can also cause problems with having sex.
