February 07, 2008 - A broad range of conditions and disorders can cause incontinence, including birth defects, pelvic surgery, injuries to the pelvic region or to the spinal cord, neurological diseases, multiple sclerosis, poliomyelitis, infection, and degenerative changes associated with aging. It can also occur as a result of pregnancy or childbirth.
The National Association for Continence (NAFC) estimates on the basis of multiple studies and expert opinion that 25 million adult Americans experience transient or chronic urinary incontinence. Sufferers may experience emotional as well as physical discomfort. Many people affected by loss of bladder or bowel control isolate themselves for fear of ridicule and lose self-esteem. Adults may find employment impossible or compromised. Fortunately, there are treatment options available for approximately 80% of these individuals.
The most common and widely practiced treatment option is a behavioral technique referred to as “scheduled toileting”. With this treatment option the incontinent patient is prompted to go to the bathroom every 2-4 hours. This technique puts the patient on a regular voiding schedule. The goal is simply to keep the patient’s bowels consistently empty, thus resulting in fewer accidents.
One of the drawbacks to “scheduled toileting” is that frequent use of toilet paper to wipe genital and anal areas causes irritating rashes and infections. Cleaning these areas with a gentle spray of warm water can provide a fresher and more comfortable approach to personal hygiene. Water cleaning with Spaloo—an affordable and innovative bidet toilet seat now available in America--is proven to reduce the risk of spreading germs and bacteria. Spaloo provides an economical, environmentally friendly option for cleaning your personal areas. Plus, less paper equals fewer rolls of toilet paper on your shopping list AND less waste.
The Spaloo bidet seat is a high-tech, but user friendly heated toilet seat that attaches to an existing toilet. It has a control panel with easy-to-understand buttons that activate the spraying nozzles to wash back and wash front, turn the dryer feature on, adjust water pressure, and set the temperature of the water, drier, and seat. Surprisingly, a gadget this medically necessary and ergonomically designed is available for just $399.
