But if the repeat happens, then please get it evaluated from a urologist.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed a year ago at age 25 with IC. My symptoms include urinary frequency and incontinence. My doctor has me on Elmerion which I do not believe is helping like it should be. I also take despromession at night to limit the amount of urine my kidney's produce. I wake up about 6 to 8 times a night. My doctor has given me a few treatments within the bladder which helped the frequency and incontinence for a weeks time, but I do not have time to go to the doctor every week.

739070 tn?1338603402 HI All, I received this update on one of the medical sites I use and thought there might be some interest. Botox has been used off-label for urinary incontinence but it is FDA approved which may help those whose insurance won't pay for off-label use of drugs. The article is shown below: FDA NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release: August 25, 2011 Media Inquiries: Jeffrey Ventura, 301-796-2807, jeffrey.
664777 tn?1231981676 Chiari in a mild form can also produce symptoms that a larger herniation creates....sometimes the larger herniations do not produce symptoms for years! Chiari 0 is a relativly a newer term...there is no herniation...but if u have copies of ur MRI u can see the crowding....there r areas inside that should have spaces btwn...the crowding causes the CF not to flow as it should and causes headaches and other chiari symptoms.....
Avatar m tn In a study of 226 spayed female dogs, a greater percentage of dogs treated with Incurin improved compared to dogs treated with placebo. Incurin was shown to be effective for the control of estrogen-responsive urinary incontinence in spayed female dogs 1 year and older." Hope this is helpful.

5509293 tn?1428531475 Does it make sense for a neurologist to order a whole set of mris with and w/o contrast after hearing a report of one episode of urinary incontinence and several days of frequency? I have only had a uti analysis to check for UTI but no exam by either primary doc or neurologist. Why go straight to mris? And could this be related to kidneys? Because the MRI dye can impact kidneys adversely. All of this is in the context of previous mris to check out parethesias which didn't lead to a dx.
Avatar f tn //www.webmd.com/urinary-incontinence-oab/bed-wetting-in-adults Have you ever tried setting your alarm to train yourself and you bladder when to release? That's something a lot of parents do. There is also the bed wetting alarm systems to help train you to get up. I'm glad you are seeing a doctor for help with this. There are good meds now for overactive bladder but am sorry the two you've tried haven't been effective. I would continue to push for answers and help.
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?? Is there anything non surgical I can do to help the incontinence? I've been doing Kegel exercises religiously since October with no results. It's been 6 months of urinary incontinence.
Avatar f tn my son is 10 years old and had no previous problems with urinary incontinence. Two weeks ago he Suddenly became completely incontinent. I mean he has no feeling the urine will come he's leaking/dripping and gushing urine. He was taking a medicine for two weeks previously for gerd called esomeprezole (nexium) which was causing him to be incredibly thirsty drinking huge amounts. We stopped themedicine and the thirst is better but incontinence remains.
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. With urge incontinence, you have a sudden urge to urinate and don't always make it to the bathroom. Men with urinary incontinence problems can do Kegel exercises, too.

Avatar m tn I am a male, aged 67 and cheduled for a Stapedectomy (Otosclerosis) in September. Although I am almost 100% continent after a prostatectomy a few years ago I am concerned that I may need to "pee" during and after the surgery while in recovery. Is a urinary catheter normally used for such a surgery or should I request this from my ENT surgeon? Thanks.
Avatar n tn stress, urge, overflow and mixed incontinence. This link may be helpful: http://www.urologychannel.com/incontinence/index.shtml It would be best to have this evaluated by your urologist to reach a diagnosis. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn d like to help, but the problem is that you may not know any of the possible causes that docs have already tested for and ruled out. There can be a LOT of different causes for fecal and urinary incontinence, and all of the tests need to be done and medications tried before you start to think about surgery. Do you know all of the tests he's had? Has any disease been diagnosed that could result in the fecal issues such as pancreatic problems, celiac disease, inflammatory bowel issues, or???

Avatar n tn //www.webmd.com/urinary-incontinence-oab/mens-guide/urinary-incontinence#1 It has a treatment section. One thing it talks about is lifestyle things like not drinking very much before bed. And it also has a section on strengthening pelvic floor muscles. Talk to your doctor though is my best advice.

Urinary bladder wall problem has been deducted in your case. However you can discuss your case with your urologist. The enumerated the possibilities can be investigated or ruled out one by one by your physician. A psychological assessment of the situation may also help. Hope this helps.
