Other Diseases and Conditions

There are many other conditions that can affect urinary and bowel incontinence. Some create a physical barrier in getting to the toilet in a timely manner while others create a neurological disconnect between the need to void and the ability to act.

Some of these include:

• Multiple sclerosis
• Parkinson’s disease
• Cerebral palsy
• Stroke
• Spinal cord injury
• Traumatic brain injury
• Pelvic trauma
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
• Dementia
• Physical disabilities
• Some psychological conditions

Any concerns, should of course, be discussed with a medical practitioner.
