Urinary Incontinence :: After Radical Prostate Removal


Feb 12, 2016

My 73 yo father had a radical surgery 5 years ago (prostate removal) due to the cancer. To date, he is suffering from urinary incontinence. He is also taking "Cymbalta" as a medication but no relief has been granted. I was wondering if anyone could let me know about a new medication in the market that would work better than "Cymbalta" ?

Kidney Stones In Urethra - Urinary Incontinence

A CT scan showed my husband had a kidney stone in his urethra. He is not sure if he passed it yet or not. One day he had huge, huge pain and I took him to the hospital and they gave him pain pills but since then (a week ago) he's had no pain, so he thinks he might have passed it. Only one problem - he has urinary incontinence which is driving him crazy. Any thoughts?

Pregnancy :: Urinary Incontinence 39 Weeks - First Child

I am 22 years old, first time pregnancy, 39 weeks. Completely healthy other than this one problem that i have had my entire life. Ever since I was a baby I have not been able to control my bladder when I laugh. Almost every single time I laugh I wet my pants...its very embarrassing...Throughout my life I have been very ashamed of this issue and honestly have tried to hide but as I have gotten older it continues to get worse. I know have to wear pads whenever I go anywhere where i think i will laugh otherwise i soak myself through my underwear. Most doctors think it is stress incontinence. They say because I have trouble relaxing when I use the bathroom I do not empty my bladder all the way and have urine left over, hence why I have to use the bathroom every 20 to 30 minutes. Naturally being pregnant it has just gotten worse. No one can give me a REAL HONEST answer on whether or not my problem will get worse if I have a vaginal delivery I would like to have a vaginal delivery but only if my problem is not gonna get way worse. Im already in pads I dont wanna be in diapers and I only have a week left. I have scheduled the C but the doc says it up to me....NOTE: I have seen several urologists and because I have no definitive diagnosis none of them can recommend for or against the C section.

Urinary Incontinence After Laminectomy W/bone Fusion?

After being diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis in 1992 and undergoing several other treatment options that were not successful, I had back surgery, a laminectomy w/bone fusion. I then developed urinary incontinence, which is still a problem for me. and also lost my mobility. I am now spending most of the time in a wheelchair, although I am able to use a walker for very limited distance walking. I still suffer from back pain but do get some relief from a prescription pain med. I just wondered if anyone else had developed urinary incontinence after having back surgery?

Herpes :: Genital HSV 1 - Skin Irritation And Urinary Incontinence

I've been HSV1+ (oral) for 20 years.  Several months ago I had unprotected intercourse with a woman 3 times.  Within 2 days, maybe sooner, I felt irritated on the shaft of my penis and the irritation and redness have been almost constant for 6 months.  I've had 2 IgG tests at 3 weeks and 6 months, both were HSV1+ and HSV2 neg.  All other STD tests were negative.  4 dermatologists didn't think much of it but one thinks it could be a herpetic neuralgia causing the issue.  Never had an issue before the intercourse with this woman and issue happened immediately after and I'm not one for coincidences.  I've tried all types of creams and have been on valtrex for months with no improvement of symptoms.  I've also had urinary incontinence - leaking, which started one month after skin irritation began.  Any thoughts??

Urinary Incontinence :: 30 Kidney Stones Passed During Pregnancy

I'm 35yo F, have two kids (ages 3 and 6). During both pregnancies I had about 30 kidney stones I passed and I've passed several more outside of pregnancy. Most noticeable since having my second daughter, I've suffered from urinary incontinence. Not when I cough or laugh but it seems to leak out after I go to the bathroom. I don't feel it but throughout the day and night, my underwear are always damp and I can smell urine. I don't have bladder control issues - meaning, I always make it to the bathroom in time. It's very upsetting and been very stressful. I've seen 3 different doctors and it wasn't until my most recent visit where I got very frustrated that they seemed to finally listen and now said they are referring me to another specialist and I'll need to be tested for a fistula and other potential serious issues. 

The specialist can't see me for a few more weeks. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Anyone have any input?

Urinary Incontinence :: Bladder Okay - Pain In Pelvic And Groin Area

I have been suffering from urinary incontinence for a few months. I was given blood tests, which came back clear, although one showed a slight problem with my kidneys. I had a bladder scan and this showed that my bladder is working okay, but is taking a while to fill. My doctor has never examined me, she justs asks me what's wrong and recommends medication. I told her that I have pain in my pelvis and groin area. She said okay I'll prescribe you detrusitol and wear a pad and we'll see how it goes. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the incontinence. I'm only 39 and male and I am generally quite fit. I worry about people being able to see my pad and this is really getting me down. The incontinence happens nearly every night and sometimes during the day. The idea of being on medication and wearing pads for a lengthy period is making me anxious and depressed.

Rheumatoid Arthritis :: Swelling And Pain Of Stomach - Now Urinary Incontinence

Wow, RA is the gift that keeps on giving! I'm a year in and actually was picking up well compared to last year. The meds appear to be working ok but after a rather stressful two days where I had to work longer hours than planned I'm now in a bit of a state. Last night I peed myself walking back to my hotel - came from nowhere - totally unexpected - suddenly I was peeing... highly embarrassing. And today I've had increasing belching, distended stomach and now quite a bit of pain. I've taken all the pain killers I can and really not sure what to do next. Just wondered if this rang any bells with anyone else - maybe it's nothing to do with it!!

Urinary Incontinence :: Oxybutynin - Overactive Bladder With Gynae Problems

I have overactive bladder and have had problems for years; I take oxybutynin which was helping quite a lot but since I've been having some other gynae problems the incontinence has become much worse again in the last few weeks/months. I'm waiting for tests at the moment so hoping this will give me more idea what I can do long term but in the meantime, trying to adjust to dealing with the wetting accidents again and manage it as best I can.

Urinary Incontinence :: Small Ovarian Cyst And Overactive Bladder

I was sent to gynae as a scan showed I had a small ovarian cyst but I have also been experiencing bladder problems.  Saw specialist today who is now referring me to gynae/urology specialist (so another appointment to wait for).  Can anyone help with general advice for OAB?  I have downloaded some bladder training stuff and I have been given some medication to help in the interim while waiting for next appt.  I am worried about the pain I have every time I need to go to the loo - is this a common symptom?  I have also been told to use painkillers on a regular basis (every 6 hours) to combat this.

Urinary Stress Incontinence - Personal Trainer And No Pelvic Floor Exercise

I suffer from stress incontinence.  I haven't been doing my pelvic floor exercises as much as I should but it's getting a real problem now.  I love exercise, I teach classes and also am training to become a Personal Trainer so really need to get this problem sorted.  I went out for a run yesterday and couldn't stop weeing.  It's getting really embarrassing.  I also have to hold myself before I go to the toilet to avoid wetting myself.  Has anyone else been this bad and have you thought of the surgery? And if so, was it successful?  I'm awaiting a private appointment but it's not until end of April.  Please help!! Any advice would be great.  I'm a woman in her early 40's and had two vaginal deliveries 10 and 8 years ago....
