People who are experiencing chronic diarrhea are at high
risk for developing bowel incontinence. This colorectal disorder is not
surprising since only minor weaknesses in the anal muscles can result in fecal
incontinence. This leaves many people with the task of finding the best way to
manage their diarrhea while treating this form of fecal incontinence. The most
effective management strategy is to find the right incontinence product to meet
the patient’s needs. Because of the severity of chronic diarrhea many patients
choose to use an adult diaper. If an adult diaper is not selected many other
patients will use an incontinence underwear with incontinence pads that can be
changed frequently. Find one of the most frequently used incontinence pads from
the Abena diapers line.
There is a wide variety of
incontinence products that can be used to treat this type of fecal
incontinence. All of the incontinence supplies that you
will need are sold at online sites that sell adult incontinence products. This means that you can shop with privacy from
the comfort of your home or office. Keep in mind that there are incontinence
products for men and incontinence products for women so you can select the
right type of incontinence that not only meets your needs but that of your gender, as well. For
help and guidance in selecting incontinence products visit The Incontinence Product Finder.
One of the problems with managing diarrhea and the fecal
incontinence that occurs is that this can happen even if there has only been a
slight loss of sensation in the anal area. This means that if you are
experiencing any type of fecal incontinence as the result of chronic diarrhea
you should seek medical attention. Your doctor will be able to do tests that
will indicate if there is a colorectal disorder that needs to be treated or if
there is another underlying medical cause that is bringing this problem on. Because
of the intimate nature of this problem many people are hesitant or even
embarrassed to seek out medical treatment. This is never a good idea. Your
doctor will be able to determine why you have diarrhea and the resulting fecal
incontinence and be able to prescribe the appropriate treatment.
It is important to note that chronic diarrhea can be a sign
of a serious medical condition but with early detection that chances of full
recovery are much greater. Almost all colorectal disorders can be successfully
treated if they are found and diagnosed early. In addition, your doctor can
provide other support resources such as support groups and incontinence product
sites that can help you to manage this condition until it has been successfully
treated. Many patients find that be seeking out the support of other people who
are dealing with a similar condition they can often find both the support and
information they need to manage their own condition. Keep in mind that even if
you cannot attend a support group there are many different support groups
online that can provide similar resources of both information and help.
