Talk to a Doctor

Monday, March 14, 2011

Incontinence happens to a lot of people, not just the elderly. It can happen to people who have just had surgery, women who’ve recently given birth, or someone who simply has weak pelvic muscles. Despite the fact that incontinence happens to many people, those who suffer from incontinence are often too embarrassed to talk about or get help for their problems.

If a loved one is facing incontinence issues but is too embarrassed to discuss the issue with you, then you should approach a doctor. Hearing the problem explained from a medical professional will help your loved one realize that it is not their fault. A loved one will also be more likely to follow a doctor’s recommendation, like wearing Medline diapers. These heavy duty adult diapers wear like regular underwear and fit discretely under clothing so no one can tell that your loved one is wearing an adult diaper.

Dealing with Prostate Cancer

Monday, February 28, 2011

A few years ago my dad was having a regular physical when he mentioned to his doctor that he’d been urinating a lot more frequently. Given my dad’s age, his doctor decided to check him for prostate cancer. The doctor detected some bumps and ordered a prostate-specific antigen test, and later a biopsy.

Both tests confirmed that dad had prostate cancer. Many men are wary of some of the treatments because they can cause erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. Dad decided that those things were small in comparison to losing his life and not being there for his children and grandchildren. He bought Medline briefs to deal with urinary accidents during his treatment. I’m glad to report that dad is doing well and the cancer has not reemerged.

Advantages of Disposable Underwear

Thursday, February 03, 2011

Here are some pros for disposable underwear in the ongoing debate between cloth and disposable adult underwear. First off, disposable underwear is affordable so people suffering from incontinence can try them out without taking a big hit to their wallets. Second, there is a huge convenience factor associated with disposables.

Imagine how difficult it would be to change a cloth diaper when you’re out and about. You’d have to find a way to store the wet mess, whereas with a disposable you simply throw out the used underwear and slip on a fresh pair. Brand names, like Medline disposable underwear, are easy to find online or at the local pharmacy. Finally, though detractors have pointed to the bulkiness of disposables, there are new pull-up options that eliminate that issue.

The Full Gamut of Disposable Pads

Tuesday, July 06, 2010

A couple of years ago I began experiencing mild incontinence problems. It would only happen on rare occasions, but when it did, it was certainly embarrassing and put a damper on the rest of my day. Over the years, my incontinence has gradually worsened, requiring me to seek out increasingly absorbent products to contain the situation.

Luckily, Medline disposable pads are available in an array of strengths, allowing you to pick a product tailor-made for your needs. As I’ve learned, some pads can be bulky and uncomfortable, so you want to have a lightweight option if you only suffer from mild incontinence. I believe Medline recognizes the needs of incontinence sufferers, which is why they provide a spectrum of products.
