Customer question:
What should you do in case of emergency incontinence? Question from an anonymous forum customer
Pharmacist's answer:
If you are at home, move to the bathroom, where you can easily access the toilet. If you are in public, find the nearest toilet or other suitable place. If you have incontinence pads or panties handy, use them to prevent urine from leaking onto your clothes. These devices can be discreetly worn under clothing and give you extra protection. Try bladder control techniques such as deep breathing exercises or holding your urine briefly until you reach the toilet. This may help to extend the time before you start urinating a bit.
It is important to stay calm and focus on managing the situation. Panic can worsen the situation and increase the sensation of unplanned urine leakage. If you are in a company, find someone you trust and discreetly tell them about your situation. This person can help you find a suitable place or offer additional support. If urge incontinence often recurs or worsens, talk to your doctor about the condition. Various medical causes for this condition should be addressed.
Urge incontinence is not something anyone should feel guilty about or even ashamed of. This is an otherwise unpleasant medical condition that can occur for a variety of reasons, such as bladder infections, neurogenic causes, oversensitive bladder, specific drug therapy, and other factors. Although people may feel uncomfortable or worried about leaking urine in public or society, it is essential to understand that it can happen to anyone and that there are ways to manage or reduce it.
