Caring For Caregivers

One of the things that doesn’t get enough attention when it comes to living with incontinence is caregiving. Those who assist their loved ones managing their symptoms – the emotional ones as well as the physical ones – often don’t get the support they need, and that can take a tremendous toll on their own wellbeing. Today’s guest is Lori Mika, a certified dementia practitioner and a passionate caregiver herself as well as an account executive for Tranquility Incontinence Products, who shares with us about the things you can do to flourish in the caregiving role.

The hidden side of incontinence: Mental health challenges

When most people think about the symptoms of incontinence, they think about physical things like urgency and leaks.

Today’s guest is Tina Harris from Tenderheart Health Outcomes, here to share with us important information that the team at Tenderheart has learned about mental health from their research and patient surveys. She discusses what patients and caregivers commonly experience and offers strategies to help lighten the mental burden.

We Count! A new campaign to help women with incontinence

Did you realize that half of all women will experience incontinence? Or that more people have incontinence than either diabetes or heart disease? As alarming as those figures are, incontinence is still something that too few people are willing to talk about, and the end result is that millions suffer in silence – often for years and years – even though there are treatments that can work wonders for them.
That’s why NAFC is introducing the We Count campaign.

How To Talk To Your Partner About Incontinence

If your partner is experiencing incontinence, you might suddenly feel like you are in uncharted territory. Incontinence is both a physical condition and a lifestyle change.
Intellectually, we understand that incontinence is a medical condition outside of our control. Emotionally, however, it’s a different story. Losing the ability to fully control our bladder and bowels – a skill gained in early childhood – can bring with it intense feelings of shame, embarrassment, anger and denial. For those in a partnership, incontinence also brings fear of loss of sexual attraction, and sometimes fear of diminished affection.
