hospital referral. im worried

[LoftyLottie]

Don't be worried. They may well do some tests to check the reasons for the incontinence, but nothing to be worried about. It may be that they can find an underlying cause and put it right.

No big deal...
1) will talk to you and ask you questions
2) will examine you vaginally with a speculum and ask you to cough.

The next step, if any, will be designed to calculate pressure in your bladder.

That's it.

On Embarrassing Bodies the patient was advised to give up smoking as nicotine damages the bladder.....ha blutty ha !

Where's the pow-wow smoking abers, like me - who don't leak?

My prog: cut down on liquids, particularly water that flushes thru you immediately.
