Urinary Incontinence

Urinary Incontinence is one of the major disabilities of the elderly. Correctable factors, such as chronic constipation, diuretic therapy, infections and treatable bladder outflow impairment need to be excluded.

Often there is a combination of factors including, for example, difficulty in getting to the toilet, and dementia. An expert and committed incontinence advisory and treatment service combining nursing and medical skills is invaluable for elderly patients with this distressing problem.

Home visits to ensure the availability of commodes and toilets is essential. For established incontinence, catheterization may be necessary.

Incontinence and its treatment is a matter of major importance and by no means solely in the elderly.

Occasionally I get a burning sensation in my urethral area. It usually lasts for about 4-6 hours, then slowly subsides. I feel the need to void frequently also and it is extremely painful until I do, then while voiding is the only time i feel relieved. do you have any Idea what could be causing this? Thank you for your consideration.--Miranda
