INCONTINENCE IN THE ELDERLY
It is defined as urinary incontinence
the involuntary loss of urine in quantity or frequency enough to be a problem for the
person who suffers it, as well as a
possible limitation of their activity and social relationships.
The elders affected feel
a sudden need to urinate but they
are unable to hold urine.
Who recognizes it as a
problem with high-impact physical
and psycho-social.
Urinary incontinence worries in the elderly because it
produces many pathologies. The
pathology of the skin more often
associated with incontinence is
the formation of ulcers. But I
wanted to investigate if it causes
dermatitis.
Searching in pubmed I found an article which talks about incontinence associated with dermatitis.
It is a study in the UK
It claims that to use an effective
sunscreen provides protection against dermatitis in these cases.
I will investigate
what creams are
provided in the hospital for this
type of dermatitis and if they
really have an effect as it is said in this article.
