Amazing Kegelmaster

My 7 month old lab/pit bull mix just had what seems to be incontinence. I am unsure if there is anything else it could be. She was sleeping on the couch, awoke to a wet spot. There is no smell and no color to it. She changed spots and woke up to the same thing – wet spot with no smell or color. I thought possibly she was licking herself and it was from saliva but it is very large. Is it common for dog urine to sometimes not have any color or odor to it?

On a side note, she is let outside frequently during the day and doesn’t have any accidents when she is awake. She is spayed and it was performed right before she turned 5 months. She immediately had a bladder infection but her problem is different this time. She has been drinking more water due to high heat in my area.

I recomend that you go to the vet. Sometimes female spayed dogs have problems with their bladder sphincter. It can weaken and the dog will leak little amounts of urine in their sleep. The vet will most likely put her on some hormone drugs to help with this problem.Good Luck

I am a 17 year old girl, and have urinary incontinence my doctor cant seem to think that this is the problem but i know that it is. I have had it for 2 years and have had enough of it now. It gets to the Point where i nearly wet myself and have to go to the toilet all the time. I have had all the tests done and have showed nothing so it has to be this. I was put on tablets to relax my bladder muscle but it made me worse. I have tried all the medicines and even tried exercises to strengthen my bladder muscles, and i know that if all else fails then i can have surgery.

but the problem with my doctor is that he keeps delaying it by running more tests and he referred me to aurologistt but i have to wait untill Februaryy and i cant wait that long as am getting worse.

what treatments can i use at home and how i can tell my doctor about tpossibilityity of doing surgery and getting it sorted ASAP asdon’tont wont it keep ruining my life anymore anddon’tont to wait any longer.

please help, just want my life back
I dont want wait untill February to see the specialist and this is affecting my life loads as cant even go out because of this, so need to know how i can get my doctor to get this sorted ASAP.

also no piont in carrying on with the other treatments as they are not working, and have not been working for 2 years, am just getting worse

At seventeen it is not unheard of, however it is not normal. In addition to urology, you should be followed by neurology and ob/gyn to try to find whatever is causing your incontinence.

Speaking from experience, you can still have a life! Don’t let it slow you down, just learn to manage it. You can use timed voiding, Kegel exercises (must be done regularly to work), diapers (personal choice, but better than being wet), and medications in combination with each other.

Whenever you void, don’t just go. Practice trying to start and stop the flow, as many times as you can. This will help.

I know you are frustrated, goodness I do; but hang in there. You are not alone, there are many people who have the same problem, if not worse. Keep up with your doctors, keep trying to do exercise and try different combinations of the suggestions above to see what works best.

Cheers

people also say delaying and stopping and starting during urination will make you last longer, but are there any side effects?

I’m not sure about uriniation, but holding off on ejaculation during masturbation will help you last longer. No, there will be no side effects to either one.

Would large fibroids contribute to a prolapse uterus and leaky bladder?

Prolapse of the uterus refers to the downward displacement of the vagina and uterus. The word prolapse is derived from the latin ‘procidere’ which means with effect to fall.

The uterus is held in position by adequate ligaments Besides, it has the support of the muscular structures of vagina and all other local tissues and muscles. Due to the laxity of support by muscles, tissue and ligaments, the uterus sags downwards.

The presence of fibroids can certainly complicate matters and place even more undue pressure on the downward advance of a woman’s organs. On the other hand, fibroids that are quite large can serve, in some ways, as a blocking mechanism to prolapse. Either way, the situation is most likely to be extremely uncomfortable. Surgery to repair any prolapse may require surgery to remove uterine fibroids at the same time. Under these circumstances, an urogynecologist — a gynecologist with advanced training in urology, specifically treatment of incontinence and prolapse — may be the best type of physician to consult.

The uterus is held in position by connective tissue, muscle, and special ligaments in the pelvis. The uterus drops into the vaginal canal (prolapses) when these muscles and connective tissues weaken.

Uterine prolapse usually happens in women who have had one or more vaginal births. Normal aging and lack of estrogen hormone after menopause may also cause uterine prolapse, as can chronic cough (such as a smoker’s cough) and obesity. Uterine prolapse can also be caused by a pelvic tumor, although this is rare.

Chronic constipation and the pushing associated with it can worsen uterine prolapse.

I take care of my mother. She was given samples of Detrol LA (for urinary Incontenence). Her doctor gave her a prescription, only to discover that her insurance will not pay for it. She has both Tenncare & Medicare (Wellcare). I called & left a message for the doctor, asking him if he could call in something similar, that Wellcare would pay for. His nurse called me back & said for me contact the insurance, find out what a good substitute was & call them back to let them know & the doctor would call it in. Odd he doesn’t know. But I’m too busy to call & be placed on hold w/the insurance co, so I was hoping someone on here would know & could tell me some other prescription urinary incontinence medications, that work the same as Detrol LA. I can check online if Wellcare pays for it for a not. So just some prescription names would be very helpful. Thank you!

Ditropan, Ditropan XL, Oxytrol, Sanctura, Vesicare, and Enablex. They all run at varying costs, one of them should be cheaper than Detrol.

I used to be a dancer and during class we would do a lot of kegel exercises, I havent been to a dance class in about six months and have noticed a lot more queefing during sex.
while i was a dancer i never once queefed during sex.
could it just be a coincidence? or is it likely that one has to do witt another

OMFG, best question ever.

"While I was a dancer I never once queefed during sex" The more you know

This has never happened before up until just recently when I began to leak a small amount of urine while sneezing or intense coughing. I am a 26 year old female. Is this normal or should I see a doctor?

Often times, this is due to weak pelvic floor muscles; and you can use the "Kegel" exercises to strengthen them.

This won’t be something you have to live with as long as you can get help for it now. See your doctor, use the Kegel exercises, and you should be okay.

Cheers!

She went to a vet who gave her pps and DES both without help. She continues to dribble urine. We can’t keep her in the apartment like this. She is 9 years old with lots of life. Ppl suggests "doggie diapers. I can’t do this to her. Financially I cant do it either. I have called a few "no kill" shelters that are FULL! Now what? Help! I live in Southern NH.

have you talked to your vet about the DES not working? There is anther drug called PPA that you might want to try, also did they rule out urinary crystals?

I recently had a sonogram of my bladder and kidneys that came back normal.. although they still do not know whats wrong with me.

i know UPJ obstruction sometimes won’t show up on a sonogram.

Is bladder cancer still one of the possibilities?

You need to have a cystoscope examination done ,its 98% correct and a special urine test done .nobody and i repeat nobody can tell only by looking at a sonogram

Well I think I have it but Im not sure but I will know tomorrow. I had my baby a month ago and when I look into my vagina I could see a part of my uterus. Also, Can I still get pregnant in the future?

If you have a prolapse, exercises will not help.
good luck tomorrow.
