Prostate Surgery Incontinence Is Only One among the Many Types of Incontinence
What is incontinence? In simple words, incontinence is lack of control of the urinary bladder whereby one cannot stop urine from leaking out of their body. Though this is an extremely embarrassing condition, you will be surprised to know that it is a very common occurrence. What is even more surprising that in spite of all the problems that this conditions warrants, a very small percentage come forward to ask for help. There are many drawbacks to this condition, because it almost makes you an outcast. You cannot travel freely, you cannot stay over at any friend's house without proper planning and preparation, you cannot sleep in your bed peacefully fearing spillage during the night, and so on.
Good News - Most of the Incontinence Conditions Are Curable
There are many types of incontinence, depending on the diseases you had been suffering or are suffering, your age, your weight, your hereditary medical reports, and so on. There are four major types of incontinence:
1. Urge incontinence - this type you will feel like running to the bathroom every time a drop of water passes your lips. It does not matter whether you have a glass of water, you feel like you need to go all the time.
2. Stress incontinence - this type of incontinence is when the urinary sphincter becomes loose and hence, every time you laugh, sneeze and/or cough a little urine will dribble out. With this type, you will leak at the slightest exertion and you will also have possibilities to leak when you get up after sleep, or rise from a chair.
3. Mixed or a combination of Urge and Stress incontinence - this happens when symptoms from one type of incontinence has one or more symptoms from that of the other type.
4. Incontinence caused by surgery and other medical interventions - there are a number of surgical procedures that would end up in prostate surgery incontinence. Fortunately, the prostate surgery incontinence can be fully reversed with time. Age is definitely a factor here; hence, one should be able to regain total control of their body and hence, their dignity as well (with the help of the right treatment).
It does not matter what type of incontinence you are suffering in the end - what matters is that you have this annoying condition and you feel so embarrassed while moving out. The persons who suffer from prostate surgery incontinence are at least assured that it will be okay with time, as they heal. The others unless they seek help and undergo treatment, might find that the condition deteriorates with time.
Unlike prostate surgery incontinence, which might be taken care of with the help of a caterer, the common man suffering from this horrible condition would need to wear highly absorbent adult napkins which will restore a little of his freedom to move around, as well as restore his own dignity. Fortunately, the prostate surgery incontinence might be a thing of the past with the robotic micro-surgeries existing today, whereby it is possible to remove the prostate glands without disturbing the surrounding muscle tissue too much.
