Coughing sneezing and exercise accidents

Kayleigh-Ballet

Hi,


I have accidents and wet myself when I cough sneeze or do exercises like ballet. I also wet the bed every night and have to go to the toilet quite a lot. The Doctor has told me my bladder is very small and has not developed as fast as the rest of me. She said it should get better with time and I do exercises to try to make my bladder muscles stronger. Has anyone else had this problem and how long did it take to stop having accidents?


Thanks



Kayleigh

Hi Jason. Do you do the kegel exercises to make your bladder muscles stronger?

It happens to most of us with bladder problems. Laughing, coughing, sneezung and getting startled can cause me to have an accident. I've done the Kegels too but did not affect my bladder or pelvic muscles at all. I'm 17, going to be 18 in June and still have same accidents like usual and haven't had any real improvement. Sorry it affects you too but it's not a reason to let it slow you down. I hope you'll eventually stop tho :)

Hi Kayleigh, I suffer very bad stress incontinence as well, when I cough I wet, when I sneeze I wet, laugh I wet, or exert myself at all I wet. The worse thing is that it’s like it breaks a seal and I can’t stop it, and I often can’t tell when it stops either or how much without checking the protection im wearing at the time. It’s makes me very anxious and really gets to me.

I regularly do kegal exercises and they do help but can take weeks before noticing a difference and it’s very slow. I notice the deterioration far more when I neglect the exercises as it’s typical that I lose control a lot faster than it takes to try to get some sort of control.

I do recommend you try doing them, they can only help, but you will need to be patient as it may take a while before you see any improvement.

Any questions or issues, please just ask, your welcome to message me any time, it often helps to chat. :)

I have got a new watch that has alarms set and it wobbles. When I feel it wobbling I have to go to the toilet and try to pee even if I don't feel like I need to. It's easier to do it while we have to stay at home. I hope my watch can help but I am still having accidents.

    I've just been updating my profile information because I had a birthday last week, and so I'm now 25 instead of 24. It doesn't feel any different though!Just so you all know a bit about me: I suffer with anxiety and occasional panic attacks, and sometimes I do an accidental wee in bed while I'm asleep. Now I'm a year older than this time last week I can report that nothing has changed, although...

    In 2013 I had an accident resulting in spinal injury at the base of my neck with paralysis from there down, spasticity (muscle contractions and spasms) and double incontinence. Both my anus and my urethra have been left closed except with manual intervention.  I hardly ever pass urine via the usual route (I have a suprapubic catheter passing directly into my bladder about 2 inches below my...
