I assumed you have gone to a specialist in bladder problems or pelvic floor problems? I went to one, the physical therapist help me out a lot.It is time consuming and frustrating but I was able to get help with out drugs. I also know what causes leakage and I stay away from alcohol,caffeine,etc. Good Luck-blessings

By causing the pelvic floor muscles to relax momentarily, a cough can cause urine to leak through the urethra and out of the body. The only symptom of stress incontinence is the involuntary passing of urine from sudden actions that put pressure on the bladder, such as coughing. Sneezing also.

Barbara Drabek: Been there, done that. Tried the PT route. Been through as intense/complete exam as the Urologist do for males, this year, and not just a reputable hospital,but as top-flight as there are on the west coast. My cancer was 2003 (prostate) and caused a pretty mild issue. Then there was the Septic shock 7-month-issue 10 years later. Every operation involving a catheter seems to make the issue worse (I've had a minimum of 4 not cancer-related), although with lots of Kleigels, originally i could make it some better. The increase was comparatively minor. The most recent one that affected my incontinence was a brain tumor this year (Sheesh, that increased the issue by several orders of magnitude, now reduced to about twice the "before" issue) Went from a #1, sometimes a #2 absorbency pad to #2 but mostly #3 pad, so i consider myself lucky, in one sense. By the by. Male pads don't come in Absorbency rates, are a bad design, just one pad, and then right up to extreme (Briefs), so i use woman's. The manufacturers wouldn't dare do that to women. The doctors at my support group's Retreats don't hold up much hope, and it's a different Doc every Retreat. Been reading about the newest mechanical aids and sensors. Not enough good reviews for me to spend the sheer amount of money to travel and stay in Seattle to try it/them) and "aftercare" too expensive/difficult.
I take darfenicin and an anti-spasmatic (AntiSeisure) and they do help. I got taken off darfenicin in a nursing home, once, and it might as well been called a punishment. Darn sadistic doctor, i thought. If he hadn't prescribed it, he didn't want me to continue with whatever it was. He didn't quite get away with not feeding me my anti-coagulant. Due to liability issues, i suspect. So i don't bother to use the internet for that issue, except PubMed and the Journals (Toooo damn expensive, but often the Abstract tells me what i need to know. If i think i want to read, it, i try to hunt down a free source. That lady in Hungary or someplace like that has stolen & published for free maybe a million of those studies. Bless her.)

AlanSouth, Life is very hard. My heart reaches out to you. I pray that when the Lord calls us home, we don't have to suffer anymore. so much of my stuff was done years ago. I was in an abusive marriage where he didn't care about my happiness. He loves money. No one except Jesus, the Lord, the Holy Spirit, my guardian angle knows what one goes though. We all have our challenges. I was so sick for so long, that it was terrible. I had a lot to learn about living and still do. I would like to find someone local to share my journey with but I am thankful for each day and I have so much maintenance on my body, I feel weighted down. Then I remember the times was I not able to take care of myself. I then do my exercises, stretches,etc. God bless us all and hang in there. I will pray for you, Dear Lord please guide Alan and bring him peace as you do with me. Thank You Lord and fix his problem so he may live a better life if it is your will. Amen.

Barbara Drabek, You are such a kind women with so many problems. You also give good advice. You have helped me think more [positive. I have a lot of incontinence both stress and urge and overactive Bladder. I do exercises and Kigals that helps someday. I have seen a lot of Drs they don't understand and do not know much about it. I pray a lot also, but you give me hope , so please keep responding to peoples problems. Yes this is very a humiliating problem to live with, I also get very down and depressed, but in kinow someday I wont have to deal with it. God will prevail.
