[edit] ABDL Content

Please see Talk:ABDL as to why I feel this content is not appropriate. brenneman(t)(c) 12:08, 13 July 2005 (UTC)


[edit] This page could use some changes

  • It only mentions UI in women and children - nothing about men. Most of the generic (non gender-related) information is under the "UI in women" section. No mentions of BPH (enlarged prostate) anywhere either.
  • Nothing is said about general impact (toilet mapping, avoiding social exposure, associated costs, etc)
  • Nothing is said about psychological consequences (isolation, shame, anxiety, depression, etc)
  • The resource section has only 1 external link which could be moved to external links perhaps. Lots more resources could be added (NAFC, Continence Foundation, etc... There are lots and lots of them).
  • More treatment options exist nowadays, and as far as medications, none of the most widely used ones are mentionned (detrol and ditropan), not even using generic names.
  • No statistics or figures of any kind (like prevalence) are mentionned

(Unsigned edit by 24.222.204.78 (talk • contribs • block • block log)) Does anyone know how often an event must occur to be considered urinary continence. Everyone says keep a diary. But what does the doctor look for from the diary? Go to urology on google for some excellent sources that can be referenced What about the use of a urethra support sling.. what are the benefits of that.. on younger women

[edit] Incontinence in children

The section in question needlessly repeats information stated earlier in the article, and the first two sub-headings are rather awkwardly phrased. Secondly, it reads like it was copied from a website with a much younger target audience. 70.68.181.169 10:36, 16 May 2006 UTC What about the option of a urethral support sling as a remedy option for younger women

[edit] Sources

There are no sources cited in this article. I'll begin to remove unsourced material over the next couple of days, a little at a time.
