Tena Incontinence Products

A Canadian website has provided some useful guidance for people who believe their ageing parents may be experiencing adult incontinence.

According to an article on Canoe.ca, urinary incontinence should not be a barrier to an active life, as it can be "easily and effectively managed" with the aid of absorbent products, such as Tena Comfort Plus, and lifestyle changes.

It can be caused by a number of conditions, such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, arthritis or urinary tract infections, or by certain medications.

The website advises people to discuss any concerns about their parents with their healthcare professional, who can advise them on treatment options for adult incontinence.

It points out: "There is a wide range of treatments available to manage incontinence, including absorbent products (which absorb urine and odour), exercises, lifestyle changes, medical devices, medications and surgery.

"Finding the right treatment can help your parents stay active and enjoy life."
