Hi all
I have had IC for about 4 years now, but over the last 6 months I have noticed yet another wonderful symptom of IC. I noticed that every time I pee, even though I can spend 5 minutes wiping...I still stand up & leak urine! I can hold my pee, but it seems that no matter how many times I pee, wipe, etc...there is still leakage when I stand up. I have taken to wearing a light pad most days to soak the excess up, but it is embarrasing because sometimes I can SMELL the urine on me. Needless to say it is affecting my life in a variety of ways:-(
Is this happening to anyone else and if so, what are you doing to stop it??
I have spoken to my urol. about this & he said that because my bladder is so inflamed there will always be a bit of leakage...now that doesnt make me feel ANY better. I am hoping someone out there has some advice to this embarrasing problem.
