When you have spina bifida, you are aware that continence issues will always be a part of your life, but you also know that you don't want it to rule your life. You want to have the freedom to take part in education, work, travel, relationships and mobility. All of this adds up to leading a truly independent existence.

An integral part of achieving this freedom, and keeping it, is for you to take control of your continence issues. Being informed is the first step to making good choices.

You can achieve control over both your bladder and your bowels: and therefore much of freedom.
