Men and women with adult incontinence or other bladder or bowel problems are invited to attend an event at the Eastbourne Arndale Centre next week.

Medical experts will be on hand from 09:00 to 16:00 BST on September 20th to answer people's questions about bladder and bowel issues.

The event, which forms part of National Continence Awareness Week, is due to take place near the centre's Sainsbury's store and could be useful for those relying on Tena Lady or other adult incontinence products.

Debbie Davis, a community continence nurse advisor with East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust, told the Eastbourne Herald: "Bladder and bowel problems are still a taboo subject that understandably people do not want to discuss.

"Many of us suffer from bladder or bowel related problems at one time or another in our lives."

Ms Davis noted that urinary incontinence and other bladder and bowel problems can affect a person's relationships and quality of life.

But she insisted: "It is never too late to get help and problems should not be ignored."
