Hello,my daughter was eleven years old when her problems began. She would hide her underpants and cry when I asked if she was ok. I took her right away to a urologist at Childrens Hospital in Boston and he
said she has red blood cells in her urine, started her right away on Detrol after a cystectomy and since then it's been great. Bottom line, thank goodness she never has to smell of urine.
My 20 year old daughter has blood in her urine also, she wets her bed
and has no control of urine and bowl she has to run to the bathroom,
She has been on different meds. But didn't help they found fluid in her
pelvic but the doctor said it was normal, she is pain every day and
adominal pain also. Do you have any answers? Thank you. God Bless
you for any replys.
OMG - I hope this hasnt happened with me!! My 90 year old mother is not at all incontinent, but it has been creeping on with me for years and has now become A PROBLEM.........I wear the usual tenalady pads without which I dont know what I would do at all. I always think that I am ok with these as they are meant to protect from the smell of urine. Mostly I change them and can manage but sometimes if I am out for a long time, there is simply nothing I can do and I just am so thankful that I have these, I simply cant hold the urine in and have to 'go' in the pad. If this does happen, which isnt that often as I take charge and am careful, I hope I dont stink of urine as well....OH!!

Your post reminded me of a friend I ahd in Jr. High.We became friends at the start of the year, he was new in town.Nice kid, but I noticed I was his only friend.I did notice a odor whenever I was with him.
A couple of months went by untill I realized he smelled of urine.I was never invited to his house, he always came to mine.
I never understood why he smelled like that, then one day my mother told me he wore diapers to bed because he wet the bed.Turns out she noticed and questioned his mother.
I guess he did not bathe every morning he wet his diaper.
He moved away shortly after thatand I never saw him again.
Hope you are happy Peter,wherever you may be.
