Not only babies use diapers, even adults sometimes use them, especially older people. Adult diaper use is usually due to several conditions, such as urinary incontinence, prostate enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperlasia / BPH), or post-stroke brain damage.
Too often urinating or not able to hold back urination, can interfere with activities during the day, and disrupt rest when sleeping at night. Especially if accompanied by limitations in moving.

Reasons for Using Adult Diapers

The most common reason why a person needs to use adult diapers is urine incontinence. Urinary incontinence is the loss of control of the process of urination. As we get older, the muscles around the bladder and urinary tract begin to decrease in strength. This results in reduced ability to withstand urine release. The severity experienced by each person can be different. In fact, urine can leak or come out when sneezing or coughing. This condition generally occurs in the elderly, but does not rule out the possibility of it happening to anyone. The use of adult diapers is recommended for those of you who experience this condition.
Prostate enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperlasia / BPH)
Increasing age causes the body's organs to change. In men, the most common is enlargement of the prostate or BPH. BPH can make a person difficult to control the discharge of urine, thus causing unconscious urination.
Post Stroke Brain Damage
After a stroke, getting out of bed and going to the bathroom may not be as easy as before. Stroke sufferers often experience difficulty in controlling urination (bowel movements) or bowel movements (BAB). After a stroke, the muscles that control the bladder can become weak. In addition, the nerves that send and receive messages from the brain related to the urge to urinate and defecate experience interference, so that the process of urine and feces is uncontrolled. This condition makes stroke sufferers need to use adult diapers.
