Hello Community - I hope you are all doing well and staying safe!
I just wanted to ask if anyone has ever experienced incontinence with endometriosis. Sorry for the TMI, but sometimes I'll find myself peeing a little when I sneeze and I feel the need to pee a lot and feel the bloating, but then I don't feel empty when I actually pee.
Not sure if the two things are related, but would be useful to hear any experiences for this. Thank you in advance!

I'm not sure if it's endo related or childbirth related, as I've given birth vaginally 3 times, but I do have that same issue.
I can pee & think I'm "probably" finished, but if I sat there any longer, there would be more to come out.
I feel a lot of pressure around my lower abdomen, most of the month - I would say it's definitely worse around & during ovulation & then quite bad during menstruation.
I’ve not had a child, I’m 22, only suspected endo at the moment but I also have this. it’s not a lot of leakage.. just a small amount. Usually from laughing or lifting something heavy, I just wear a panty liner. I always feel like I need a pee, all day long, never feels empty. Sometimes there’s an odd occasion where it comes out of no where and I really have to go and Sometimes I can’t hold it. ( usually happens around that time of the month).
I’ve mentioned it to my doctor but they’ve never really seemed bothered as it doesn’t “ interfere with my daily life” I mean.. it kinda does.. but it’s manageable..
I had endo stage 4, noticed i would have a small amount pee on my underwear i did tell my physiotherapist and as it felt like sometimes I was numb down there because I would only know if I felt my underwear or went loo.
They taught me some exercise along with pelvic floor muscle exercise told me if its more than 4times I need to consult them ASAP as they will to find out whats happening with the muscles down there.
I am 32 no children only had one lap after surgery I haven't had any further incidents.
