Incontinence in Men is a Common Problem
Tuesday, January 18th, 2011Men are less apt than women to complain about health problems. They may be embarrassed to discuss health problems of a personal nature with their physician due to stereotypes that exist where a man must be strong and taciturn. Men who are reluctant to discuss incontinence with their doctor may suffer needlessly. Incontinence in men can often be treated very effectively.
Disease of the prostate is the most common reason that incontinence in men occurs. The prostate gland is a small, walnut-sized organ located at the base of the bladder. As men age, the prostate often enlarges in size, a condition known as benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The enlarging prostate can place pressure on the urethra, leading to symptoms of incontinence in men. Men may experience a weak urinary stream, dribbling, and/or inability to completely empty their bladder as a result of BPH. They may also suffer from urinary tract infections related to urinary stasis, which can worsen existing urinary incontinence in men.
Prostate cancer, or more often the procedures used to treat prostate cancer, may also result in incontinence in men. Radiation, removal of the prostate and the disease itself may all cause incontinence in men. Incontinence used to be an inevitability for men suffering from prostate cancer, but treatments nowadays can often spare urinary function.
Medications are often used to treat incontinence in men. Medications are used to relax the bladder, reduce or prevent enlargement of the prostate and reduce symptoms of urgency. These medications are often helpful, particularly when combined with self-help remedies, such as monitoring fluid intake, avoiding stimulants such as caffeine and alcohol and bladder retraining.
Incontinence in men is often a result of problems with the prostate and can often be treated effectively. For this reason, men who suffer from incontinence should consult their physicians so that the problem can be treated in its early stages.

Are Washable Incontinence Pants the Best Option?
Friday, January 14th, 2011If you suffer from incontinence, you may wonder about which incontinence pants are best for you. You essentially have two choices: disposable incontinence pants or washable incontinence pants.
Disposable incontinence pants are generally more expensive than washable incontinence pants. In essence, you are paying a little extra for the convenience that this type of incontinence pant provides. When soiled, disposable incontinence pants can simply be discarded in the trash. For this reason, some people prefer disposable incontinence pants.
You may decide that washable incontinence pants are the way to go. Washable incontinence pants are usually less expensive to purchase and may be reused after washing numerous times. Although there is more “upkeep” involved with this type of incontinence garment, some people prefer them for financial reasons. Washable incontinence pants can be used alone or in conjunction with incontinence pads (the usual scenario). Using a pad provides extra security and absorbency. Using an incontinence pad may also mean that you only need to change a soiled pad, rather than the pants. You may find changing a pad simpler than changing an entire pant, which is another reason some people prefer washable incontinence pants.
Those who are concerned with environmental issues may also prefer washable incontinence pants due to the fact that they contribute less to environmental waste, as they can be reused over and over again (this argument is similar to the cloth-versus-disposable diaper debate that new parents face). Although laundering washable incontinence pants means using water, many people find this less objectionable than using disposable incontinence pants.
Whichever you choose, know that DryForLife has you covered, with a wide selection of both disposable and washable incontinence pants. Best of all, DryForLife can deliver your incontinence products right to your door; so there is no need to shop in a store for your incontinence supplies.

Male Incontinence Supplies
Sunday, January 9th, 2011More and more men are living with incontinence, due to an aging population and advances in medicine that allow men to survive cancer of the prostate and other conditions. As a result, the incontinence industry is striving to meet the unique needs of men suffering from urinary incontinence by creating male incontinence supplies that are designed for style as well as comfort and absorbency.
Male incontinence supplies include incontinence pads that are designed to trap and absorb urine where absorbency is required the most, which is at the front of the pad. Incontinence pads are shaped to contour to a man’s anatomy and offer a comfortable fit as well as a sense of security that allows active men to live their lives to the fullest.
Male incontinence supplies also include male incontinence pants designed to offer the same qualities of comfort and security as women have available to them. Male incontinence pants are available in washable and disposable varieties. In addition, male incontinence pants are available in a wider variety of styles. Some men prefer boxers while some prefer briefs, and the incontinence industry has recognized that men appreciate having this choice available in male incontinence products. Male incontinence pants come in a variety of materials and styles to allow men several options to choose from to meet their individual incontinence needs.
Men can lead an active and productive life, pursuing all of their normal activities, while feeling secure and dry. Male incontinence supplies are designed with discreetness in mind, so that men who are incontinent can rest assured that their secret is safe, and no one need know that they suffer from incontinence.

What Continence Supplies Do You Need?
Monday, December 27th, 2010Whether you are new to incontinence, having just developed the condition, or have been suffering from incontinence for quite some time, there are some continence supplies that you will not want to be without. The following is a short list of essential continence supplies.
Incontinence Pads – Incontinence pads can be used alone or in conjunction with incontinence pants. Incontinence pads can be changed easily, are discreet and offer the security you need if you suffer from incontinence. They can easily be carried in a purse or bag.
Incontinence Pants – Incontinence pants may be used alone or may be used with a pad. They may be disposable or washable and come in a variety of styles and materials. Those who suffer from heavy incontinence may prefer to use incontinence pants with a pad for extra security and protection. Washable incontinence pants are an attractive option for some, while others prefer the freedom of disposable incontinence pants.
Mattress Covers – To protect your mattress, you may wish to use a mattress cover. They come in various styles and sizes. Some mattress covers protect only the area of mattress that may become soiled in the event of leakage, while others cover the entire mattress. Many have plastic backing and are made rustle-free to ensure a restful night’s sleep, without fear of ruining an expensive mattress.
Hygienic Wipes – To prevent skin irritation, excess moisture should be removed from the skin when incontinence products are changed. Hygienic wipes may be used to wash the skin, leaving behind emollients that protect the skin from irritation caused by wetness. Hygienic wipes can be discreetly carried and can also be used to cleanse your hands in a pinch.
Alcohol Hand Gel – Alcohol hand gel is used to kill any bacteria on the skin and is perfect for use after changing products or before eating a meal. Alcohol hand gel is the same product used by healthcare professionals in hospitals to cleanse their hands in between patients.
The above continence supplies can be considered helpful for anyone managing a problem with incontinence. Each individual should sample different continence supplies to find which product of group of products produces the best results for them.

Incontinence in Women
Tuesday, November 30th, 2010Incontinence in women is a common condition, although it should never be considered as normal, nor should it be considered to be an expected part of the aging process. Women are affected by incontinence more often than men, a fact that can be blamed on pregnancy and childbirth in many cases.
Many women suffer from stress incontinence during pregnancy, generally in the last trimester. This is largely due to the weight of the growing baby placing excess stress on the bladder. In addition, hormones in pregnancy can cause muscles to relax, particularly the pelvic floor muscles. Pregnant women should practice Kegel exercises during pregnancy and continue after the baby is born in order to keep pelvic muscles strong and prevent incontinence. Stress incontinence of pregnancy often resolves when the baby is born.
Childbirth itself can damage pelvic floor muscles and other pelvic structures, resulting in incontinence in women later in life. A large baby, a prolonged labor, an episiotomy, the use of instruments such as forceps or vacuum extraction and other complications can increase the incidence of incontinence later on.
As women age, it is thought that changing hormone levels can also predispose them to the development of incontinence. These changing hormones can cause a relaxation of muscles involved in urination.
There are other known factors that may contribute to incontinence, such as obesity, smoking, alcohol use, caffeine use and certain foods that may irritate the bladder. Infection or stones anywhere in the urinary tract may also lead to incontinence.
Incontinence in women is a complicated issue. Women who experience incontinence should visit their physician so that the cause of incontinence can be determined and appropriate treatment can be started. In many cases, incontinence in women can be cured, or improved greatly. Quality incontinence products such as the ones found at DryForLife are also very helpful for managing incontinence and maintaining an active lifestyle.

What is a Continence Assessment?
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010A continence assessment is performed by a healthcare professional to assess your ability to control bladder or bowel function and to determine factors that may be contributing to incontinence.
A continence assessment is essential for continence management and generally consists of two parts: an interview and a physical assessment. In addition, you may be asked to complete a bladder diary prior to your assessment. A bladder diary is a diary of symptoms and what you were doing at the time symptoms occurred. For example, you may be asked to record how many times you were incontinent; activities you were doing at the time of incontinence; how much fluid you drank and when, and other things that may be associated with incidences of incontinence. A bladder diary can provide valuable clues as to the type of incontinence you are facing and activities that may be contributing to incontinence.
The interview portion of a continence assessment consists of a series of questions, some of which may seem unrelated to your problem; however, there is an underlying purpose for all questions asked. You may be asked the following:
- Prior medical history
- Medications you are taking
- Overall health/general health
- Weight
- Alcohol use/caffeine use
- Smoking history
- Pregnancy/childbirth history (for women)
- History of prostate problems (for men)
- Whether you are menopausal (for women)
- Problem with frequent constipation
- Diabetic or symptoms of diabetes
The physical assessment portion of the continence exam may include a urinalysis to check for kidney or bladder problems, like an infection. In addition, your healthcare professional (usually a nurse continence specialist or a physician) may perform a physical exam, including a vaginal exam for women and a rectal exam for men. This is done to assess the strength of pelvic floor muscles, evidence of prolapse (women) or prostate disease (men). A physical assessment may make it easier for the healthcare professional to pinpoint a physical problem that may be causing incontinence.
A continence assessment can help to determine the cause of incontinence, as well as provide ideas on how to manage incontinence. From the continence assessment, it may be determined that more tests are required to determine the cause of the problem, or the underlying cause for the incontinence may be clearly evident. Anyone who is suffering from incontinence should have a continence assessment done by a trained professional.

Qualities to Look For in Continence Pants
Monday, November 15th, 2010Suffering from incontinence? If so, you have probably figured out that quality continence products are necessary to manage incontinence. For example, there are so many types of products to choose from that it is difficult to know how to go about choosing continence pants.
Continence pants come in numerous styles, sizes, absorbency levels, and price ranges that it is no wonder people have difficulty determining which products best suit their needs and lifestyle. When choosing continence pants, first ask yourself whether you want to use washable continence pants or disposable continence pants. There are advantages to both. With washable continence pants, you save money and never run out of products. Simply wash them and they are ready to be used again. Some people prefer disposable continence pants because they are very convenient, albeit a little more expensive.
You also need to determine how much absorbency you need when choosing continence pants. Washable continence pants may be limited in absorbency unless they have a built-in pouch to hold a pad in place, in which case this combination may be very absorbent. Disposable continence pants are available in different absorbency levels.Some are meant for light incontinence while others are absorbent enough to handle large amounts of urine.
If price is a consideration, disposable continence pants may be more expensive than washable products that can be reused. On the other hand, you must also consider the time it takes to wash the continence pants, as well as the cost of water and soap used to clean the products. For some people with little extra time, disposable products are preferable, even if they are a little more expensive.
In terms of style, there are many styles of continence pants to choose from, and selecting continence pants comes down to a matter of taste and lifestyle. The continence market is ever-expanding, and new products are constantly being added, while older products are being improved. Truly, there is a product suitable for everyone, no matter their size, lifestyle or absorbency needs.
