helpful tips for those experiencing incontinence
Written on Sunday, 30 of December, 2007 at 8:03 pm
My Aunt Rose suffered from epilepsy since she was six years old by accident. Grandma prefers to take care of my aunt herself because she thinks moms know best, and because my other relatives are busy with their own families as well.
My aunt would often smell stinky because she wets herself and of course, my grandma is too old to care for my epileptic aunt. Abi suggested to our grandma to purchase incontinence supplies which can be bought in retail prices such as the adult and child protective underwear which looks like diapers. To prevent being stinky, there are some incontinent spray to refresh the intended user.
Same thing happened several times with my cousin Abi’s friend Eve, who, at a gathering would hysterically laugh and then stop abruptly. Everybody wonders why Eve would do such thing and refuse to divulge the reason.
Two months ago, while Abi was having a discussion with Eve, Eve finally blurted out that whenever she laughs, coughs, or sneezes, there is involuntary loss of urine and it feels very uncomfortable. Abi said that my Aunt Rose’s case is called hypertonic incontinence while Eve’s case is stress incontinence. For Eve, she suggested some Kegel’s exercise and for her to consult a physician about it. Fortunately, Eve after some time was able to maintain continence and enjoy the rest of the night during parties.
So, to girls out there who experience the same unpleasant incident, do not feel mortified for the reason that it is still reversible if treated accordingly, and there are different ways to feel refreshed even if you are incontinent.
