How can I know if I have a problem with urinary incontinence?
-
Dr. Jill Rabin answered:To know if you have a problem with urinary incontinence, ask yourself these questions and see if you answer yes to any of them:
• Does your bladder rule your life?
• Do you know the location of a bathroom everywhere you go
(especially shopping)?• When you’re somewhere new, do you scout out the bathrooms as
quickly as possible?• Do you avoid long trips because you might be too far from a restroom?
• Do you leak when you laugh, cough, sneeze, lift, or hear running
water?• Do you have trouble making it to the bathroom?
• Do you run to the bathroom several times an hour?
• Do you have sudden, uncontrollable urges to use a bathroom?
• Do you wake up often during the night?
