If I had a dime for every time I was asked "should I treat my incontinence with medication/surgery, or wear diapers?"... let's just say that I'd be a rich woman. That's why I wrote a blog about it, which you might find helpful: click here.   Basically, if you're happy wearing the absorbent products and you don't want to deal with medication or surgery for whatever reason (chemicals in your body, surgical risks, etc), then that is a completely fine way to go. If, however, you feel that wearing the products prohibits you from leading as active a life as you might like, then you might want to consider the alternative options. And be objective when thinking about whether incontinence is prohibitive in your life. It's easy after years of living with this condition to think that it isn't affecting much of your life. Think about this: if you woke up completely dry tomorrow, how would your life be different? If there are vast differences, then you know that incontinence is having a pretty drastic impact on your life, and perhaps it's time to find a way to stay drier.   As an aside: when I was pregnant I had to drink tons of water and hold it before ultrasounds and it was pretty awful. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's pretty traumatic!   Best of luck, Jasmine
