​Quality of Life, Cost Effectiveness and Independence

​Assessment: 

  • Women and men can experience temporary or long-term challenges with continence. This may include incontinence of bladder and/or bowels, leading to embarrassment, skin conditions and financial burden that will ultimately reduce quality of life. 
  • Our NSWOCs complete a focused assessment and a limited physical examination (COVID-19 depending) to help identify the causes of, and factors contributing to, urinary and fecal incontinence. Symptoms can often be alleviated by determining the underlying cause.  
  • Patients may be asked to keep fluid and voiding diaries for a week to two, in order to inform this assessment.

Expert Coaching

Supporting the patient to regain control over their bladder or bowel incontinence through specific strategies:
  • Bladder retraining 
  • Pelvic floor muscle exercise training
  • Dietary review and modifications
  • Medication review

Product Selection

  • There are many incontinence products on the market that vary in effectiveness, style and cost. Selecting the right product can improve quality of life and reduce costs.
