Chronic urinary incontinence can lead to a variety of physical, emotional, and social challenges.
Physical Complications:
- Skin Issues: Constant moisture can cause skin irritation, itching, infections, and ulcers.
- Urinary Tract Infections: Increased risk of recurrent UTIs.
Emotional and Social Challenges:
- Changes in Activities: Difficulty participating in daily activities, social events, and exercise due to frequent urination or urgency.
- Changes in Professional Life: Reduced productivity, difficulty concentrating, and social awkwardness at work.
- Changes in Personal Life: Strained relationships, embarrassment, avoidance of intimacy, and increased anxiety or depression.
