A continence assessment is a clinical review of how well your bladder and bowel are functioning, carried out by a registered nurse with specialist continence training. During the session, your nurse asks about your symptoms, daily routine, and any products or aids you currently use. As a result, they can identify the underlying cause of your continence issue rather than simply treating the symptoms.
From there, your nurse develops a tailored management plan. This might include continence products, pelvic floor exercises, bladder retraining techniques, or a referral to a specialist. Importantly, every recommendation is explained clearly, so you know exactly what to expect and why.
