Incontinence

Tips from survivors: “Going on a regular schedule instead of waiting for the urge helped me regain control.”

Loss of control over bladder or bowel function.

Leakage, urgency, difficulty reaching the bathroom in time, or lack of awareness of the need to go.

Stroke can disrupt the brain signals that control bladder and bowel function.

Bladder or bowel training, scheduled bathroom routines, pelvic floor therapy, medications, and supportive products if needed.

Common in the early stages after stroke and often improves during recovery.
