WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF URINARY INCONTINENCE ?
Urinary incontinence has far reaching consequences not only on a person’s physical health but also on the mental condition. Embarrassment, stigmatization, isolation, demoralization and depression are common in these patients. Urinary incontinence is also associated with an increased number of falls, urinary tract infections and skin breakdown. The economic burden of the disease is also considerable as it often leads to premature admission of the patient to nursing home.
