Continence Management
Living with incontinence can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, causing discomfort and limitations in daily activities. We offer comprehensive continence care services aimed at restoring confidence, promoting independence, and improving overall well-being.
Our Approach to Continence Care:
Comprehensive Assessment:
We begin by conducting a thorough assessment to understand the underlying causes and nature of your incontinence. Utilizing a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests to accurately determine the type and severity of incontinence. This comprehensive assessment allows us to develop an individualized care plan tailored to your specific needs.
Personalized Care Plans:
Based on assessment findings, we develop personalized care plans that address the unique needs and goals of each individual. Our care plans incorporate a range of strategies, including lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, dietary adjustments, and medication management. We take into consideration your preferences, lifestyle, and medical history to ensure a holistic approach to your continence care.
Education and Behavioral Techniques:
Our continence care services include education and training on various behavioral techniques to manage incontinence effectively. We provide guidance on bladder retraining, urge suppression techniques, and appropriate fluid intake to optimize bladder control. We offer instructions on pelvic floor muscle exercises and relaxation techniques to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control.
Continence Products and Devices:
We assist in selecting the right continence products and devices to manage incontinence effectively. These include absorbent pads, protective garments or external catheters. We help you navigate available options to find the most suitable products that provide comfort, security, and dignity.
Skin Care and Hygiene:
In the event of complications such as leakage, skin irritation, or herniation around the stoma, we provide prompt evaluation, appropriate interventions, and guidance to address complications effectively. We work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as surgeons, physiotherapists or dieticians, if further intervention or treatment is required.
Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-up:
We believe in the importance of ongoing monitoring and follow-up to ensure the effectiveness of the continence care plan.
