Cold weather

[Archives1]

Has anyone experienced increased incontinence if dealing with colder temperature/weather? I was golfing yesterday, and it was quite cool, and I went thru about 3 times the pads that I normally do.

Thanks

Jim

I also have found this to be true during winter.

Yep. Was kinda ok most of the year so far till it got colder a couple weeks ago. Im headed to an urology apt to try again with the meds (I’m afraid of the injections and surgeries).

I am curious what kind of meds you have tried? I deal with stress incontinence and am not aware of any medication for this.

Im all urge. Its been over a year but I tried oxybutinin and detrol. Both had side effects worse than the problem and only solved about 50% of it. Found some luck with vesicare. Worked great but stopped taking it cause of dry mouth and I got just enough control to not leak without it. I’ve decided dry mouth beats wet pants. Lol.

@Jroberts When I was incontinent, Solifenacin reduced my leakage by 10 ounces a day from 30 ounces down to 20 ounces. It is an older generic drug. It was the first drug that I tried.

I find mine gets a little worse at night when I am tired - just fyi.

I am in LA (Lower Alabama - ha ha ha!!!) so not cold enough here until after Xmas to be able to tell!

I think that is normal. I'm scheduled for the AUS implant in January.

They moved it up from April - that's splendid! Cheers to that @ronron. Praying everything goes smoothly for you -

Thank you Honeeecombs for your prayers and the kind reply!

Actually, I moved it up to January since I spend far too many hours everyday on the commode. I'm dreading the almost 30 hours flying from Bangkok to Chicago. I was hoping to wait until the weather improves in April; however, I just can't stand dealing with the incontinence any longer!

You have a good memory...you remembered that I was going in April!

Sending my best to you and yours from sunny and warm Thailand,

Ron

Cold weather and rain makes me pee more.

Apparently cold does increase urges for anyone. A lot of scuba divers experience this when diving deep.

@Jroberts We just talked about this a week few weeks ago. Please search old topics before creating new topics.

@snow uhh... actually, it doesn't matter. The topic was slightly different.

If I get caught in rain, I often pee myself. This has been going on nearly my whole life.

@artiejr, I guess in a odd way, there is a positive outcome of the drought.

On topic…Rain and cold affect me as well.

It does not seem to have an effect on my bedwetting, but I live in the south so not much of a temperature change.
