Canadian Continence Foundation

Incontinence, the loss of bladder and/or bowel control, can have a dramatic impact on one's life. There are ways to manage incontinence, and in many cases cure it. Yet due to the hidden nature of incontinence, many people are not aware of the help available and thus do not seek cure or treatment.
