Many elderly people have to deal with incontinence as a normal part of aging. Aging, side effects of medications and pre-existing health concerns may all contribute to the development of incontinence later in life. Incontinence is a serious health problem that, if left untreated, may exacerbate a variety of other health conditions. Not to mention the pain and shame that one can experience during an episode of incontinence, which undoubtedly lowers one's quality of life.
