The Lowdown
- Around 14 million people in the UK have urinary incontinence.
- Over 500 000 adults in the UK have faecal incontinence.
- Around 900 000 children and young people in the UK suffer from bladder and bowel dysfunction.
- Incontinence costs the NHS an estimated £3.7 billion annually.
- Incontinence increases the risk of infection, depression, social isolation, falls, admission to hospital, and nursing home placement.
- Stigma, shame and isolation mean that many people are reluctant to seek help. However, incontinence can be improved or eliminated in at least two thirds of people through specialist nursing interventions alone.
