Incontinence is another of those complaints that sadly seems to be an appropriate subject for a certain type of comedian, but anyone who suffers from it knows it is far from a laughing matter. In general, it is more common at the two extremes of the age spectrum. Stresses in the family or school pressures contribute to bedwetting in children. As the body weakens a fair number of older adults also encounter continence issues. This is not to say that people of other ages might also become temporarily incontinent due to particular health problems, or most commonly during pregnancy.

Apart from the unpleasantness and inconvenience embarrassment is one of the biggest issues associated with incontinence. Even though it may be emotionally difficult, it is still important to bring this problem to your doctor's attention. They can find out if the incontinence comes about because of stress, or perhaps this patient has some defect in the bladder or a spinal injury. Alternatively, they can provide reassurance that the issue is only connected with the aging process, or maybe the patient is obese or has another problem that first needs to be resolved.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
