Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
See a urologist who is a pelvic care specialist. There are procedures to correct the issues. Some are minimally invasive.
It's a shame that more people don't know about them. These days, it is not necessary to suffer, but people don't talk about it enough to get the information to those who could benefit.
If you are talking about Stress incontinence my guess is you will not be dating any men that don't also have the same problem. (ok, maybe not stress incontinence but dribble issues) I think at some point everyone gets to the .. Stop, Squeeze, Sneeze ..time in life. Talk to your doctor about newer procedures that are available. And there are wonderful products available not just the disposable products but the "real" underwear that are for periods or bladder leaks. they won't stop a flood but they work great for dribbles. If you are talking about real incontinence good disposable or washable absorbent underwear and good hygiene are important. Then if you get to .."that time"..in your relationship .. honesty...chances are he (or she) may have the same issues.
What kind of incontinence do you have? Urgency? Leaking from exertion? I'm asking because my relative just went through a procedure: periurethral bulking agent injection, a minimally invasive treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Done by a urologist, a day procedure. It was fast and effective and not expensive. Prior to this she also had a neurostim implant that's been nothing but a problem, however I think that was supposed to address a differenty type of incontinence.
A cute name. I don’t have a clue. I assume you are talking about sex? Otherwise just put on some depends and have a good time like the young women in the tv commercials.
There is a speciality called urogynocologist that might be able to help. They deal with the pelvic floor. Look that up and you can see if it sounds like what you are talking about. My mom went to a urologist who did a procedure that helped her not leak. She was in her late 80s.
The following from AI.
If your bladder is protruding into your vagina, this is a condition called a cystocele or prolapsed bladder. In this case, you might want to consider being fitted for a pessary. What is a pessary? A pessary is a removable device made of silicone or latex that is inserted into the vagina to provide support to the pelvic organs, including the bladder. It helps to keep the bladder in its correct position and can alleviate symptoms like pressure, discomfort, and difficulties with urination. Why would you use a pessary for a prolapsed bladder? Non-surgical option: Pessaries offer a non-surgical way to manage the symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse. Symptom relief: They can help alleviate or minimize symptoms of a prolapsed bladder, such as feeling a bulge, difficulty peeing, or painful intercourse. Alternative to surgery: Pessaries can be a good option for women who are not ready for or are unable to undergo surgery. Temporary support: Some women use pessaries temporarily, for example, until they are finished having children, before opting for surgery later. Important considerations: Pessary fitting: A healthcare professional, like a gynecologist or specialist nurse, will need to fit you for a pessary to ensure the correct size and type. Removal and cleaning: Pessaries need to be removed, cleaned, and reinserted regularly to prevent infection. Follow-up: Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider are important to monitor the pessary's fit and ensure your vaginal health. Does not reverse prolapse: While pessaries can effectively manage symptoms, they do not cure or reverse the underlying pelvic organ prolapse.
