A few of you have mentioned progressing from bedwetting to daytime incontinence. I am worried I might be going there. I have not had any accidents during the day but I am having small urges, frequency, post micturation dribble.
Would anyone mind sharing their story, or possibly what you might have learned from your doctor? I have planned to get a cystoscopy later this year. I had a urodynamic study done a few years ago but it did not reveal anything.

My urinary incontinence is an after effect of a surgical mishap when I was 14 years old. I bled excessively after the surgery and developed a urinary tract infection that spread to other parts of my body and nearly killed me. However, after spending 3 months in hospital, I was able to go home. At first, I was incontinent and needed to wear a diaper 24/7. However, I was a fanatic about doing the Kegel exercises that my urologist recommended and got to the point that, although I was still incontinent at night, I could generally go without a daytime diaper. Things continued like that for about 25 years. Then, when I was in my forties, my daytime issues worsened; and neither Kegel exercises nor the various drugs my urologist prescribed did any good. So I had to go back to wearing a daytime diaper in order to carry on with my professional activities. I’m 77 now and have worn a diaper 24/7 for about 30 years.
Definitely was that way for me. Bedwetting started around 21 while in college, but not too often. A few years later it was pretty much nightly and started having daytime accidents around 27. Always had overactive bladder and wet the bed as a kid, but not being able to make it to the bathroom in time during the day was a surprise. I started wearing soon after as I was so embarrassed. Plus wearing at night took away some of the unfamiliar feeling of wearing diapers again. I have found a good daytime diaper that is discreet enough that I can untape multiple times for when I can make it, but absorbent enough to hold a few accidents. I am now 33 and have come to terms with the changes. Kinda sucks when it happens fairly young, but have learned to make do and carry on as normal as possible.
You are so right lorumipsum!! My UI started after a motorcycle accident that damaged nerves and has since gotten worse and now the nerves and muscles just don’t work and I’ve been wearing diapers for the last 15 years. My muscles are supposedly strong enough to hold but with out a signal to hold or release I leak all the time. As a kid I had a small bladder and always had urgency issues, my specialist said that doesn’t help but isn’t the problem with my UI. Hope you find a cure and if no cure is available we can help you find the best way to manage through it!! Stay in touch!!
