Being Intimate When You Have Incontinence

For many individuals managing bowel or bladder incontinence, the thought of being intimate can evoke feelings of stress and apprehension. Discussing matters of intimacy, especially when they involve challenges in the bedroom, can be particularly daunting.

However, opening up about your experiences and concerns with your partner is crucial for fostering understanding and support, ultimately paving the way for a fulfilling sex life once again.
