Menopause and incontinence

[Mumof3teenagegirls]

Anyone else suffer with incontinence

There’s a new treatment that you can have called Votiva at aesthetic clinics - hope you find something that helps. x

yes me, but caffeine doesn’t help

Yes - internal oestrogen like Ovestin can help as sometimes lack of oestrogen makes it worse (we have oestrogen receptors in the bladder).

Urge, stress or drip?

I definitely found that HRT helped with urge incontinence. Not so sure about the others. Oxybutinin can help with urge incontinence, if HRT does not.

I only drink decaf tea and water anyhow so gonna have to speak with drs

I’m on decaf tea too but it still makes me wee more than water

Yeah it's a nightmare never been like this

This was one of my symptoms, it lasted about six months, OK now.

Yes if you're perimenopausal it could be vaginal atrophy messing everything else up down there. Vaginal oestrogen should sort that for you

See my issue is I had a hysterectomy 4 yrs ago only leaving my ovaries in but the incontinence started 6+ months ago
