Dear Message Board Users,
We have a new opportunity for you to participate in a study about SUI. One of our partners is currently testing an investigational medication for women who experience the symptoms of Stress Urinary Incontinence. If eligible to participate, you’ll be part of a research study a potential oral medication to treat SUI. You’ll also receive study-related care and investigational medication from a local doctor at no cost.


You may qualify if you:

• Are a woman between 18 and 80 years of age
• Are postmenopausal or have undergone a medically induced or surgical menopause (hysterectomy)
• Have not had surgical intervention for Stress Urinary Incontinence (such as a vaginal sling procedure)

A final decision on whether this research study might be suitable for you will be made after you speak with the local research team.

so many of these studies and topics discussed seem to focus on women only and forget that men also experience incontinence granted statistics show more women than me experience incontinence but that does not lessen the issues for men

I agree with you DPCARE.

I agree as well I think while maybe not quite as prevalent in men incontinence is almost as frequent although I think in a lot of cases it goes unreported

As a recent Lucky winner of this problem I can confirm that Green is right. I was going every couple hours during the day and dribbling a few drops afterwords since I was like 12. Never knew any different so I didn’t bring it up till one day last month I lost control due to a spasm. Even then I wasn’t sure if it was a fluke. I went to the urgent care after the third incident in a day, and now I’m working with a urologist to address it but because I waited so long I’m in diapers. Docs should learn enough about urology to ask basic questions at each annual physical to refer to a urologist before it gets too bad.

There’s also a stigma around this that other problems don’t have. There’s no shame or humiliation about going to the store to buy a knee brace or crutches. If your eyes don’t work well you wear glasses and it’s no big deal but if your bladder doesn’t work and you need diapers it’s just, different, or at least seems so to me.

It’s also the inability to discuss it with anyone in real life. It’s pretty common to, at work, hear a couple coworkers talk about their old football injuries and how a new type of knee brace or something helps but there’s no way I would ever talk for example about how much better Tranquility is than depends.
