Urinary Incontinence?


I have a hacking cough that leads to the dreaded "urinary incontinence". Anyone else experienced this? Have Keigels helped? I know it's totally normal, just looking for someone to commiserate with :)
----------

lol I have the same problems... anytime I cough laugh or sneeze... really sucks but my doctor said to try the kegals and that may help but that alot of women have this problem and most of the time within a week after giving birth its gone if not sooner. I just cant stand it because when i start coughing my husband asks if he should go get me some diapers lol (he does it as a joke not in a mean way) the only thing i have came up with is to wear a pad if i know i will be out of the house for a while. just another joy of pregnancy.  (+ info)

urinary incontinence?


hi there, I sustained an injury 2 yrs ago and have CRPS in my right arm as a result of this injury I have been taking many medications over time and have had many new issues come to light (Depression, Panic attacks, Weight gain and more). I recently developed Urinary Retention and had to have a indwelling catheter inserted to help I had a leg bag for three days and have now a flip-flo valve and have to record all my urinary outputs. My question is what is a good result at this stage should I be urinating alot or immitating my past patterns what is my Doc looking for?? In anticipation thank-you very much for your time and advice everyone
----------

sometimes when you have a catheter fitted, you can get infections which decrease the urine flow, the doctor is probably just checking to make sure this doesn't happen  (+ info)

Can you have urinary incontinence from being stressed out?


I'm 18. I've been stressed out a lot lately with my college classes, assignments, activities, work, etc.

I've noticed for the past two weeks that I've been experiencing a bit of urinary incontinence. However, today and yesterday when I've been relaxed, I haven't experienced any urinary incontinence.

So, I was just wondering if urinary incontinence can be caused by stress.
I don't have children. I've never had sex.
----------

You should definitely talk to your doctor about it. You could have a rather sneaky infection of sorts.
If you have had children, that could very well be to blame.
I don't know for sure if stress would have an effect.  (+ info)

How do I stop urinary incontinence?


I have been suffering from urinary incontinence for the past several years. I have tried doing Kegel exercises over and over again and sometimes they do slow the symptoms down, but the problem still has not been solved. What can I do that will make the problem stop?
Note: For personal reasons, going to a doctor and having medical treatment are not options.
----------

They make mens pant liners now days so if you piss yourself they take all the flood of water. Then when you get to the next bus shelter take your trousers and pants off and change the wet liner, putting the wet one in the bin to be recycled by the next unluckey pisser person.  (+ info)

Urinary incontinence in teens?


I am a teenage girl and i believe i have urinary incontinence. i think i have the type known as urge incontinence, it only happens when i laugh really hard, i have emailed four different help organizations and have no idea how to tell my parents. if anyone knows about medication, or has any suggestions on how to tell my parents,please,help me!!!!its so awful being alone in this.
----------

First of all, you're not alone. Incontinence is very common among women of all ages (in fact, most recent studies say that about 20-25% of women under the age of 30 have regular episodes of incontinence). If you're leaking when you laugh rather than having sudden, strong urges to urinate, it's more likely that you've got stress incontinence than urge incontinence.

Medications are usually more useful for urge incontinence. Most cases of stress incontinence get better with exercises. In any event, you really need to talk to your doctor about this. It's important to find any easily treatable problem such as a bladder infection. I know it's embarrassing, but your parents just want what's best for you, and your doctor has seen it all anyway and won't think it's odd at all.

As for what to do about it, in the short term, you could think about getting pads to absorb it-check out www.aimedicalsupplies.com.

But really, promise you'll talk to your doctor!

Is urinary incontinence normal when someone is constipated?


And can being chronically constipated make the urinary incontinence permanent?
No trauma on my back. I just have chronic constipation.
----------

No this would not make incontinence permanent. Find out what is causing it and get it treated. Get the constipation treated too.  (+ info)

Is daytime urinary incontinence common for children diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome?

----------

Would you use a medical device that cures urinary incontinence and rehabilitates the pelvic floor.?


You would need to do daily exercises for a couple of weeks. These exercises would be monitored by a doctor to make sure that you were doing them correctly.

Most woen don't do the kegel exercises correctly or at all. This device measures daily activity.


Would you do this to end your incontinence?
----------

it depends on what you mean by medical device...is it something you have to have surgically put in? if so will it last forever or will you have to have it replaced? or is it something you just use daily?
i would also consider how much of a problem your incontinence is. if it is something that really bothers you, then by all means do what you need to to fix it. if i was in your situation most likely i would want that problem cured, especially if you are young.  (+ info)

Does Cystoscopy cause urinary incontinence in women?


I may have Interstitial Cystitis. So, my urologist might do a cystoscopy. What does it feel like? Is there anyone out there with IC or painful bladder syndrome? I am VERY SCARED. Please advice. Will the dilation of the urethra in women cause damage resulting in urinary incontinence?
----------

I don't believe this will cause incontinece. There may be some very minor dribbling right after the procedure, but that should be gone before you even leave the office.

You should talk this over with your doctor before the procedure. The doctor can explain each step, the associated risks, and what you will feel.

Good luck!  (+ info)
