Urinary incontinence is a functional disorder that impacts the personal life, professional life, social life and/or self-confidence of the people concerned. If women are the most prone to this condition, men are not spared. Thanks to washable underwear, individuals affected by urinary leakage can regain their independence.
A few words about urinary incontinence
By definition, urinary incontinence or urinary leakage results in an involuntary loss of urine. It is generated by a weakening of the tissues and muscles of the perineum, the urinary sphincter or by a prostate problem. This disorder can also occur due to the failure of other muscles or following other functional problems. On a daily basis, the person concerned must wear hygienic protection such as men’s or women’s urinary leakage panties from TENA.
Urinary incontinence can take different forms, namely:
- Urge incontinence;
- Stress incontinence;
- Overflow incontinence;
- Functional incontinence.
Stress incontinence is the most common form of urinary leakage. It is caused by relaxation of the sphincter and muscles of the perineum. The sudden increase in abdominal pressure, particularly when the subject coughs, sneezes or otherwise, can also cause urinary leakage. The amount of losses can be small or moderate.
