Incontinence or difficulty in controlling your bladder or bowels is a symptom and not a disease. It affects about 6 million men and women in the U.K.

It is not an inevitable part of ageing

Have you got a problem?

• Do you wet yourself when you cough, sneeze, laugh or exercise?

• Do you go to the toilet more than 6-8 times a day?

• Do you get up more than once during the night to go to the toilet?

• Do you get very little warning before needing to go to the toilet?

• Do you have trouble controlling your bowels?

Most people consider their toilet habits to be normal, but if you have answered yes to any of the above, then Diane Davies our Continence Specialist Physiotherapist can help you.

During your first appointment a thorough assessment, including a discussion about your work, lifestyle, surgical and medical history, as well as a proper physical examination will be carried out, to ascertain the nature of your problem.

Following this, the diagnosis and possible treatments will be discussed with you.

This may involve: a pelvic floor exercise programme, electrotherapy, biofeedback, vaginal cones, bladder training, relaxation and advice on lifestyle and self help.
