Hi I have been incontinent for a while. I’m really not bothered by needing diapers to stay active anymore. As a long time bed wetter before getting to the point that I needed to wear full time by my early 20s. Back then I would avoid activity’s around others do you embarrassment over diapers but over time it really isn’t to bad. My friends and family are very supportive and it helps. I’m finally going to pt and seeing some small improvement but still relying on the protection of diapers every day to stay dry.
 
Same boat for me and also have developed over time a very positive attitude about being UI and living in diapers. I’m thankful I’m not double incontinent and as any of us full time diapered people know there really is a lot of convenience being diapered. The management issue regarding changing and disposal of diapers is really a minor issue.

I saw a urologist in Los Angeles today. He said I was retaining 600cc after voiding. My kidneys appear to be okay. I am seeing him in a month for a Urodynamics study. He said after that he will determine the next course of action. When I told him I was filling my Depends Night Defense with 470-570 ML a night he was taken aback. I had a retention problem for at least 10 years but my IC started about 9 months ago. My prostate is only slightly enlarged based on the ultrasound they did. I could be looking at a full TURP. Something I have been dreading but if I can eliminate diapers I can deal with the pain. I was diagnosed with a bladder neck obstruction almost 30 years ago. They didn't do robotic surgery back then and I knew enough about a TURP that it could be a horror show and I decided against it. I had to go frequently then but I lived with it. Now in my 70's I am about to pay the price. I wish I knew what caused my problem in the first place. Even when was in my 20's I would have to deal with bouts of frequent urination. Going back even further I remember several trips to the toilet at night when I was around 14. I was born with a defective bladder.
