What about not being aware you have to go until it is too late?

I have a problem of not being aware that I need to go until too late.  Consequently I end up wetting myself.

Hello, David. Good to hear from you again.

 

Regarding your question, please see the information at the link below, particularly the sections on urge incontinence and functional incontinence:

 

Types of Incontinence

http://www.healthcentral.com/incontinence/types.html

 

The first step in dealing with incontinence is to determine and understand what kind of incontinence you might have and why. I hope this information helps.

 

Keep us posted on how you're doing.

 

Best,

Maria

What I have is a type of reflex incontinence. It is sue to several factors including a head injury, spinal injury and diabetes. I have grand mal and petit mal seizures and the medications that I take are...  My doctor at the VA is the one who prescribed me to wear adult diapers. Mind you this was after several urolocical tests.
