With India having one of the largest cases of incontinence in the world, The International Continence Society organised a conference as part of the first World Continence Week observed by the society.

The organisation is planning to hold several seminars and camps across the state to generate public awareness on the issue.

Event organiser Kamal Gaira said: “We are also in talks with various girls’ colleges such as Maharani’s to conduct sessions on patient education and help them understand the symptoms of the disorder.”

Incontinence affects 200 million people worldwide. In India, 12% women are affected by it, while 14.5% suffer from this disorder across Asia.

A presentation was given by Dr Sapna Basandani she said that it was not just women, but men too experience incontinence.

She said: “Forty percent incontinence cases can be cured, but very few report it to their family and doctors due to embarrassment. By the time it is diagnosed, the cases turn acute.”

Incontinence is a condition experienced by many people worldwide, that is why Allanda understands the importance of good incontinence care.
