Avatar n tn She is suffering from severe leg pain and also has a stress urinary incontinence. It is very hard to manage her. We had tried some medications, but nothing worked for her.

Avatar m tn dicyclomine is a normal thing to prescribe for the treatment of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and urinary incontinence, but one of the side effects is it gives dogs a very dry mouth - which in turn leads them to drink more than they normally might, which in turn can lead to more incontinence ... and the poor dog ends up in a bit of a viscous cycle. The other problem, with dogs that do not drink enough water while taking this medication, is they become constipated and dehydrated.
Avatar f tn I stopped estrogen treatment in January 2013 but have sometimes used local estrogen and lactic acid. I have had problems with my urinary opening, vaginal atrium and vagina. My distal urethra has been swollen, sore and smarting. On May 7, 2013, I found a "sand" grain betveen my labia.

Avatar f tn Ever since the Ureteroscopy I have had pretty bad stress urinary incontinence. Is this a normal side effect of either procedure?? Is this a permanent side effect??

Avatar f tn Anyone, at any age, who suffers urinary incontinence or leaks urine. While the exercise mainly helps those with stress urinary incontinence, it can also help those with another common type, urge incontinence from overactive bladder.

Avatar n tn There is no way to implant a nerve into the spinal cord. If the son is experiencing something like urinary incontinence there is a device that some people have found useful that runs wires from the root(s) of the spinal nerves into areas that help control the sphincter muscles to try to control urinary output - so people don't leak. Is that what you're speaking of?

Avatar n tn I am hoping to find a reason for my daughter's fecal/urinary incontinence. She wets/soils herself several times in a day, and through the night. She has had several medical tests to rule out a physical cause, including a spinal MRI.

Avatar m tn I'm suffering from Urinary Incontinence. I'm 40 year old male. I all ready have an enlarged prostate and had that for many years, but recently I've been dealing with incontinence.

Avatar n tn Hi to everyone! I started having the problem with urinary incontinence about 4 years ago when I was 30. At first it was not that bad and I did not really worry or think about it. The last 2 years it got worse. It is not that much the frequency as the urgency that is my problem. The urge comes suddenly and is very strong. I have few minutes to find a toilet or otherwise I just can not hold it.
Avatar m tn Hi, Drug induced urinary retention is usually treated by urinary catheterization and reducing the dose of the culprit drugs. Urinary retention is one of the known adverse effects seen with antipsychotics. Bladder pacemaker is used only for patients who have long standing problems of micturition e.g those suffering from urge incontinence, spinal cord injuries and not for patients of drug induced urinary retention. I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Kind regards.
