Good afternoon,
What can I do, as I approach 40, to combat this issue? My GP says that I am getting older and must prepare for this to get worse.
Help!!!…

Hello Marg. Thank you for reaching out. While we cannot give out medical advice, we can recommend researching what kind of incontinence issue you are experiencing or may experience in the future. We recommend speaking your GP, or requesting an appointment with a urological specialist, to discuss the various treatments for incontinence that exist, including bladder retraining, muscle strengthening, drugs, timing of fluid intake, absorbent products and surgery. You may find this incontinence “quiz” helpful. Thank you for your question and best of luck.

Hi I have severe bedwetting problems someone please email me so i can get help for this
Hi Max. Thank you for your comment. We would definitely recommend speaking to your doctor. There should be a reason behind any nighttime incontinence episodes, and once you understand the reason, you can work on addressing it. We do have an article about bedwetting specifically, and we hope you find it helpful. Best of luck. -Aimee, Shield HealthCare
