Low B12 is extremely common when hypothyroid
Low B12 can cause urinary incontinence

Why are you not on Levothyroxine yet?
For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also EXTREMELY important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12
Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if you have autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) diagnosed by raised Thyroid antibodies
Ask GP to test vitamin levels
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water .
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)
Mehrz, This is not a common symptom of hypothyroidism as far as I'm aware, but inadequate levels of thyroid hormone can cause muscle weakness, and hence potential bladder weakness.
You say you are not on any medication, but your TSH was 6.49 in July. This certainly sounds as if you should be being treated for hypothyroidism. Please visit your doctor as soon as you can to describe your symptoms and ask for your thyroid hormone levels to be re-tested.
Thankyou sure I will do that...
Last test was done in July since then no blood test and no medicine since August.

From this site I have seen 300 symptoms of hypothyroidism.. there was urinary incontinence or urinary incontinence while sleeping written..
Since 3 months so many new problems symptoms have started.
One side body ache right arm swelling right abdominal poking pain. Back pain neck pain.. so many
Sure I will go to the doctor now.
If you are in the Uk you can get full testing privately
But see GP and see if you can get full Thyroid and vitamin testing first
Yes, you're right, it can be a symptom of hypothyroidism, and it is caused by muscle weakness. I used to wake up and have to rush to the toilet, or the urine would quickly leak out ~ I had no control over it. It seemed like when I was asleep and relaxed, the bladder had also become 'relaxed' and when I moved or stood up, urine leaked out. It would get better as the day went on. I don't have the problem at all now, because I am optimally medicated with thyroid hormone. You need to see your Dr to get thyroid treatment as soon as possible, and for your other symptoms too. Good luck🍀 x
Thankyou so much..🤗🤗
You're welcome. You may also need B12, as low levels can cause this too, and mine were also low. Vitamin deficiencies are common in hypothyroidism, so make sure you get them checked. x
