_Urine incontinence, kilt, apron and garden places - self care._



Urine incontinence is a widespread disease and the old age pensionists, are
especially hit,

They often have among their problems, that they need walking to toilet many
times in the middle of the night.

I have suggested in Journal of Danish Medicine 2004 , October 20 that a
small container is kept near the bed, since many die because of falling,
while going to toilet in the dark

More and more pensioners enjoy spending all day in their garden while the
weather is warm , and they should consider wearing a bottomless "kilt" ,
apron or the like , thus being able to urinate standing with spread legs
and not taking off any clothes and having no risk of wetting cloths by "last
drops".

Research is needed about where in a garden, you can urinate without risk of
anybody passing the place, noticing any smell.

A dry place, where the sun is likely to shine, is probably the worst place.

Where grass and other plants decreases the ventilation over the soil, may
be acceptable places even when hottest summer.

The concentrated morning urine should be let only in corners of the garden,
where nobody except the owner comes close.

It is not rational to travel to the toilet 50 times a day - and hysteria,
exaggeration and aestetics need to be contradicted by rational , exact
science.

The municipal authorites are helpful to urine incontinent patients by
supplying diapers and other equipment.

They should also offer towels with Velcro-tape, that are designed for
bathing as a "kilt"/apron , and which are difficult to find in shops , when
it is not summer and swimming season.
