Hygiene is such a very personal issue. The stigmatisim of bladder control goes back to when we were a very young age, when we are first trained to control our urges to go to the toilet, so incontinence can make a someone feel that they are losing control. This can affect their sense of dignity and self esteem. Many population find it very hard to accept that they need help from someone else in such an intimate area of their life - even (or sometimes, especially) if the someone is very close to them. It is very difficult to see someone we respect, lose the quality to control of this area of their life. Some families find it terribly embarrassing, and it becomes a taboo subject on both sides. Furthermore the sufferer loses so much reliance in their quality to control their bladder that they cease to want to socialise, thus starting to lose thinking and communal stimulation.
