Does anyone have urinary incontinence as the result of diabetic neuropathy?
I have Gastroparesis and since becoming incontinent, I have wondered whether it is connected to neuropathy - my doctor gave me duloxetine but it didn't work. Pelvic floor exercises have made no diffrence, so I'm trying to find out what is wrong. Can anyone help?? Posted on 06/28/09, 06:06 pm |

Hey serenity94,
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I hope this helps answer some questions of yours. I glad to know I am not the only one who has had this question. There are actually many types of incontinence. I later on found out I fell into the category of overflow incontinence although not from nerve damage. Here's a link that explains four of them of which you see it does say "nerve damage from diabetes"! As taken from: http://physicaltherapy.about.com/o... Overflow Incontinence: Incontinence that occurs when the bladder is constantly full, and reaches a point where it overflows and leaks urine. This condition can occur when the urethra is blocked due to causes such as kidney or urinary stones, tumors or, an enlarged prostate. It may also be the result of weak bladder muscles, due to nerve damage from diabetes or other diseases.
