Men can become incontinent as a result of prostate surgery. Urinary Incontinence is not, however, exclusively a problem of the elderly. It is conservatively estimated that the cost to treat UI is 16.4 billion dollars annually. Additional billions are spent on adult diapers and absorbency products. Unfortunately, health care providers are not realizing the need for standardized incontinence protocols.
Most physicians fail to inquire about urine leakage in their assessments of patients.
Individuals suffering with UI are usually too embarrassed to ask their physicians for treatment. In fact, only 1 in 12 patients will seek treatment because of the unpleasantness associated with incontinence. Most feel it is a burden they must live with. URO-Wellness, Inc. was created to respond to this market demand. Our goal is to create a cost effective, revenue-producing program for our hospital client.
