Got a urinary problem?

Do you leak or not make it to the toilet on time? Do you have to go to the toilet several times in the night? Does it sting when you pee?

Hi,since the age of 16, I have suffered from urinary loss just after voiding. When I have finished it feels as though it is all out, but, after an awful lot of shaking I will still get a surge once i have left the toile. To save th eembarrassment of wet patches on my trousers I wear pads. I have consulted many doctors, incontinence specialists etc but to no avail. finally, my local incontinence service has provided pads for me, these are however much larget than they need to be, but i am told these are the smallest they supply. This seems a silly waste of money as I do use them as they are free. Can I do anything more about the leakages or insist on the smaller sized pad? Also, i suffer from bed wetting at night and have done for as long as I can remember - full voiding most nights. This can come for a spate of a yea ror 2 then stop for a yea ror 2. It starts during periods of stress in my life. Again lots of consultations has not solved it and i am destined to wear nappies at nighty for th rest of my life - again teh incontinence servce priovedes pads fo rme but this time they only provide the insert pads (albeit the very large ones)which do tend to leak badly. they will nit provid eth etape on nappies which work best - I therefore supply my own but these are expensive and why should I not get what I want from the health service provider - can I do amnmything about this? Your help in all this would be very much appreciated. Kind regards,

When I sneeze, I am not able to stop urine. Sometimes I pass wind from Vagina and there is some white discharge. I also feel that my urine smells also. I feel that most of the time my under pants are wet and smelly.
