Bladder & Bowel UK

Bladder & bowel health

Bladder and bowel problems in adults are not uncommon, affecting both males and females of all ages. Common problems may include urgently needing to pass urine, incontinence, or difficulties fully emptying the bladder or bowel.

Worry

We understand that having a bladder and/or bowel problem, can cause embarrassment, anxiety and distress.

Impact

These problems can often have a major impact on an individual’s quality of life.

Privacy

Often, people are reluctant to discuss their symptoms with anyone, as they find it difficult to admit they are experiencing a problem.

Treatment & Support

It is important to know that much can be done to treat, manage and improve symptoms, and there are NHS specialist services to access.
