Urinary Incontinence Support Group
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary excretion of urine from one's body. It is often temporary, and it almost always results from an underlying medical condition. Stress, functional, and urge incontinence are the most common forms. Share with other support group members and learn from their stories and experiences.
I am debating on wearing diapers to help manage my frequent urges to urinate. I am on a high dose Diuretic for other medical conditions. This is something I can't stop taking and there aren't any alternatives for me. I talked to my doctor and he said "I am certain it is your medication that is causing it". He told me that I should look into managing it, but he didn't recommend any medications.
I wake up 9 out of 10 nights to pee and it really isn't all that much. Then throughtout the day I pee about 10 times. I have tried wearing Diapers the past 3 weeks and they have helped me stay focused on my projects and also have a better nights rest.
My only problem is the feeling like I am doing something wrong. I also worry about someone finding out. Any ideas?
I started using pull up style underwear about 5 weeks ago because I had dribbles after peeing that just keep getting worse until I couldn't deal with it any longer. Being wet sucks, as does having large wet spots on my pants.
My point is I could probably "manage" with something else, like a liner, but wearing the pull ups [Depend Fit-Flex] is so "low impact" [they're quite comfortable and discrete] that I just do it and enjoy not being wet - both feeling and visibly - anymore. Problem solved. I would think at the very least you'll want to use them at night to get a good sleep.
Anyway, just my two cents to say there are options that you might not be aware of that aren't all that bad.
