Having good bladder and bowel control is an important part of everyday health and independence. These functions allow you to decide when and where to go to the toilet, keeping you comfortable and confident in daily life.
Bladder Control: The bladder is a muscular sac that stores urine. Good bladder control means you can hold urine until you reach the toilet. Bladder control incontinence (urinary incontinence) happens when there is involuntary leakage of urine. This may occur when you cough, sneeze, laugh, exercise, or feel a sudden strong urge to urinate. It can range from small leaks to a complete loss of bladder control.
Bowel Control: The bowel is part of the digestive system that stores and removes waste (faeces). Healthy bowel control means you can hold stools and pass them at the right time and place. Faecal incontinence occurs when someone passes stool or wind unexpectedly. This may happen due to constipation, diarrhoea, nerve or muscle weakness, or medical conditions affecting the bowel.
Both bladder and bowel difficulties are more common than people realise — over 5 million Australians live with incontinence. The good news is that with the right continence assessment, professional care, and continence aids, most people can manage their condition successfully and live life with dignity.
Understanding the causes of bladder and bowel incontinence helps our NDIS continence nurses create a customised continence management plan that works for your needs.
