Incontinence is quite a common condition that is increasingly on the rise. It affects women to a greater degree due to anatomical and hormonal factors as well as pregnancies and childbirth.
In the article we focus on women with dribbling and light incontinence who want to continue living life to the fullest. You will learn what the psychological impact of incontinence is and what practical solutions you can implement to support your daily activity.
Incontinence and daily challenges
Incontinence can affect your wellbeing as well as your daily social interactions. For many women even simple activities such as a car or bus journey, lasting more than thirty minutes, can become challenging. Constant managing symptoms and scanning for the nearest toilet can drain the joy out of leaving the house. Additionally, stress, shame and lower mood can oftentimes lead to withdrawal from social gatherings. It is important to remember that the impact of incontinence on one’s life depends not just on the severity of the condition, but also on the support women receive and how she navigates this challenge every day.
A fulfilling life despite incontinence: how coping strategies and modern solutions restore control
Coping mechanisms, in other words the mindset we adopt towards incontinence, are largely in our control and can significantly impact our quality of life. In psychology, these are known as adaptive strategies. These strategies can either give us a sense of control and agency or limit them. Approaches focused solely on masking symptoms, avoiding the topic or isolation can negatively affect our wellbeing increasing the risk of low mood and anxiety.
The research indicates that women with incontinence who choose proactive coping mechanisms such as accepting the condition and seeking out specific solutions (e.g. reliable protection or pelvic floor exercise) report better well-being and remain more active than those who avoid the subject.
How absorbent products support women every day?
Every case of incontinence should be consulted with a healthcare professional. Your family doctor should be your first point of contact to assess your overall health and refer you for further treatment or consultation. However, for your own comfort and peace of mind it is worth using absorbent products that protect against leaks and allow you to lead an active and unhindered life.
