Continence promotion refers to a set of strategies and interventions that aim to prevent or minimize the occurrence of urinary or fecal incontinence. These strategies include maintaining good bladder and bowel habits, staying hydrated, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity.
Managing incontinence, on the other hand, refers to the strategies and interventions that are used to help people who are already experiencing urinary or fecal incontinence. These strategies include behavioral interventions (such as bladder training, pelvic floor muscle exercises, and timed voiding), medications, and surgery in some cases.
It is important to note that incontinence can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life and can lead to social isolation, depression, and other health problems. Therefore, it is crucial to address incontinence as soon as possible and to work with healthcare professionals to develop an individualized plan for continence promotion and management.
