Incontinence products and their prescription

MUDr. Marek Hanák
Urologické oddělení, Úrazová nemocnice v Brně

Incontinence, or involuntary leakage of urine, represents, above all, a hygiene and social issue for the patient. If treatment methods fail, the attending physician will choose to prescribe incontinence products. In this regard, however, it must be remembered that, in terms of sequence, prescribing incontinence products should only be used as a last-resort solution to incontinence problems when all diagnostic and therapeutic options have been exhausted. Correct prescription of appropriate products in sufficient quantities should allow patients with incontinence to live a life with dignity without limiting social contacts and with minimal inconvenience in terms of an active approach to their lives.

Keywords: urinary incontinence, incontinence products, prescription.
