A Common Medical Condition

Incontinence is a medical condition that is not often publicly discussed, although more than half of older Americans struggle with it, according to a recent report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics. “People are reluctant to discuss the problem with their doctor, and vice versa; doctors don't ask about incontinence with their patients,” the company spokesperson said. “If you're suffering from incontinence, the first step should be a discussion with your physician. There are many causes of incontinence, and there are some remedies besides protective pads and underwear.”

One sometimes overlooked cause of incontinence is a side-effect of medications. For example, diuretics are often prescribed for removing excess fluid from the system, to make it easier for the heart to pump or to relieve swelling in feet and ankles. Some pain relievers and antidepressants can also affect the bladder, as can the alpha blocker class of drugs, prescribed to lower high blood pressure, or, with some men, to treat an enlarged prostate gland.

Again, it's important to talk with your physician, to see if there are alternative medications that won't contribute to incontinence.
