Here is a subject that could be rather embarrassing but I'll start the discussion anyway and we'll see what everyone has to say. I don't know if men have this problem much but if so I hope they will speak out and we can all share. So how many of you have felt like, when you sneeze you have just wet ur underpants. Or it get harder to hold ur urine the older you get? Do you feel like it's a real embarrassing problem or not?

It is called stress incontinence and it usually occurs in women as they approach 50 or so. It is caused because the bladder drops and the unterus is also dropping (due to age) and the muscle gets spastic. Very easy problem to fix. Detrol LA. It works.

You have to ask your doctor to write a prescription for it. There are several that do the same thing..detrol LA, Enablex..I had a lot of problems with leaks when I coughed or laughed too hard. I have been on detrol LA for a year now and not a single leak.

It has been made embarrasing
but it is not. Most of the women aroung 50 and up have this problem. Use daily protectors to feel more comfortable. And ask your doctor for help without shame. Besides pills, there are easy exercises to have your muscles in better condition. Sitting at the computer all day doesn´t help much
. I say this last sentence of own experience.
Take care
