There is no normal when it comes to incontinence. It's all an indication (no matter what type you have) that something somewhere in your body is not functioning correctly, or there is a disease/infection that is causing a problem. In many cases, this can be resolved - but it must be done WITH the help of your healthcare provider. You need it to be properly diagnosed and treated/managed. This is not something you should self-diagnosis and treat on your own. It's tempting to use the Internet to find your symptoms and self-diagnose and treat. But what if it's a bacterial infection? Or a blockage? Etc. Please seek the advice of a caring and understanding healthcare provider who will work with you to find a treatment/management course. It's World Continence Week. Time to do it!! #WCW18
