The Two Types Of Incontinence
Author: Brenda T. Watson
Many men and women
suffer from incontinence and a
weak bladder. Although this
medical condition is treatable,
most people are very embarrassed
to discuss this situation with
their doctor. Almost never do the
victims of incontinence talk to
friends or family about this
condition. The stigma of being
seen as weak and imperfect + the
nature of the topic can be very
embarrassing for anyone suffering
from Incontinence.

What are
the two main types of Incontinence?
Incontinence has two basic types: Fecal
Incontinence and Urinary incontinence.
Urinary Incontinence
This is the most common type of
Incontinence. Urinary incontinence is the
loss of bladder control. This medical
condition can happen to anyone, but it is
more common with older men and women.
Incontinence can happen in any age, but
usually starts somewhere during the 50s
of a victim. Some symptoms include mild
leaking and uncontrollable urinal
wetting. These embarrassing symptoms
might be due to problems such as weak
bladder muscles, overactive bladder, or
blockage from an enlarged prostate,
damage to nerves that control the
bladder, and diseases such as multiple
sclerosis.
There are four types of urinary
incontinence: stress incontinence, urge
incontinence, overflow incontinence, and
functional incontinence. The options for
treatment for urinary incontinence depend
on its type. Treatment options include
Kegel exercises, bladder training,
medications, and even surgery. Most
health care providers pick up the cost
for the treatments.
Most bladder control problems
happen when the bladder muscles
are too weak or over-active. If
the muscles that keep the bladder
closed are too weak, a patient
may have (urinal) accidents when
she sneezes, laughs or has to
lift a very heavy object. This is
a type of stress related
incontinence. If bladder muscles
become too active, you may feel a
strong urge to go to the bathroom
when you have little urine in
your bladder. This is urge
incontinence or overactive
bladder.

Fecal Incontinence
What is Fecal Incontinence? The
lesser known type of Incontinence
is fecal incontinence. Fecal
continence is a medical condition
characterized by leaking or
poorly controlled bowel
movements. In the United States,
more than 6 million Americans are
suffering from fecal
incontinence. Like urinary
incontinence this medical
condition can affect people of
all ages. But according to modern
research and studies, fecal
incontinence is more common in
women than in men and more common
in older adults than in younger
people.
Fecal incontinence can have
several causes. These include
(but are not limited to) muscle
damage, particularly to the anal
sphincter muscle; nerve damage,
loss of storage capacity in the
rectum; diarrhea; and pelvic
floor dysfunction.
What are common symptoms for
fecal incontinence? Loss of bowel
control, diarrhea, and leaking
bowel movements are some of the
better known symptoms of fecal
incontinence. If you experience
these kind of symptoms, you
should never ignore them or
mistaken as just a part of a
loose bowel movement. Please
consult with your primary care
physician for medical advice and
for early diagnosis and
treatment. Various treatments for
fecal incontinence are available
and include diet changes, drugs
and medications, bowel training,
and surgery.
