What could cause urinary incontinence at 19? :(?
15 Apr 2010
Could past emotional trauma be causing it? I went through a period of severe depression a couple years ago (when I was 16), which is when I first started wetting the bed and having to go so urgently that I would wet my pants on the way home from school and stuff. After I stopped being depressed, it wasn’t really a problem anymore except that I’ve had to go more frequently ever since. But now, lately, I’ve started wetting my pants again. It’s like as soon as I feel like I have to pee, I immediately have to go. There’s no waiting time. I’m not depressed or stressed or anything right now though. Could it be an infection? I’m not feeling itchy at all. Would medication help, or is it something that requires a surgery or something?
I don’t think I have a UTI since I have a friend who gets them and describes the feeling as constantly having to pee, whereas with me I don’t have to go at all then then all the sudden I have to really badly. Also, I don’t think it’s an STD since I’ve only every slept with one person and I’m still with him now, and he has only been with me.
I made a whole new Yahoo Answers account just to ask this question. It’s so embarrassing. It’s hard to find your self esteem when stuff like this happens. The other day, as soon as I stepped out of the car to talk to the manager of a store about potential employment, I wet my pants and obviously couldn’t go. 
It needs kagel exercises more than anything. Could be trauma, but I would not focus on that, or want to go there at all. It seems more physical, as described. I would consider UTI, or perhaps STD, though you may not like that – you did not ask for it NOT to be included. A cold in the kidneys or bladder infection might do it. A common denominator needed is also an antibiotic; other meds as required.

All the best with this and good on you for being honest about it… it is really embarrassing (I know!!)
but my incontinence is caused because my pelvic floor muscle is in spasm due to a gynae issue. It is not pleasant but there is help put there
