Home Remedies to Help Treat Incontinence

Choosing the right type of incontinence
product is very important

When a person first starts experiencing incontinence symptoms they should contact their health care professional. You should never assume that incontinence is something that you just have to live with or is a normal part of aging. Incontinence is more common as we age only because it is often related to medical conditions that become more common as we grow older. However, no matter what your age or health status the only way to have an accurate diagnosis and receive the appropriate treatment is to see your doctor when your incontinence symptoms first become apparent. Waiting out of shame or embarrassment only worsens the problem and makes the treatment longer, more difficult, and more costly.

Irreverent Observations on Retirement

Those who are retired or who are caregivers for a retiree will likely relate to the saga from one of my semi-annual checkups. It was the first time I used my insurance since I’d turned 65. I presented my Medicare card, but could not find the one for my supplemental coverage. I rooted through a rubber-banded stack of cards an inch thick. Bank card, AAA, two AARP, countless membership and contact cards, a variety of appointment paperwork as far ahead as next summer. But no United Health card.
