Faecal incontinence: still a taboo – and how to manage it effectively
Although millions are affected, incontinence – especially faecal incontinence – remains a rarely discussed topic. Yet it is a widespread health issue with serious impacts on well-being, mobility and quality of life. For healthcare professionals, it presents daily challenges in ensuring discretion, skin protection and leakage security.
Studies show that between 5 and 12% of the population are affected – often silently, due to shame or lack of awareness. The risk increases significantly with age, after surgery or in the presence of neurological conditions. Social stigma continues to hinder access to effective solutions – both for those affected and for care providers.
And yet, effective and discreet products already exist – specifically designed to meet these challenges. With Attends F6, you now have access to a solution developed especially for managing faecal incontinence: reliable, skin-friendly, and suitable for everyday care.
