This has been bothering me for 15 bloody years now. I am now in my 50s. I am fit and healthy, very slim, never smoked, hardly drink alcohol, caffeine intake down to two cups a day at most.
Been to incontinence clinic, firstly it was urge incontinence where I'd feel the need when I got to front door, stood up to do anything. Drank lots of water to retrain bladder, pelvic floor exercises in abundance. It has never made a difference.
I cannot go out without protection. Now it's stress and urge incontinence. Back to incontinence clinic, been following pelvic floor exercise regime to the letter for last two months. I was also prescribed Contiflow. Again still no fucking difference. Sometimes I can go out and I'm fine. e.g. went on a run on Friday wearing Contiflow and got back dry. Today went on exact same run wearing it and I was soaking by the time I got back.
This is really getting me down. Nothing seems to work. What is wrong with me and what options do I have left?
