Going Concerns: Constipation & Urinary Incontinence

Constipation is one of the most common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s and typically begins years before diagnosis. Meanwhile, urinary incontinence is a symptom that occurs later in progression. These challenges can be upsetting to experience and difficult to talk about. As uncomfortable as discussing these issues may be, in order to resolve them successfully, it’s important to understand the causes and what you and your healthcare team can do to manage them.
