I am 61 and suffer from urinary Incontinence at night. I am up every night at 1:30 430 and 630. I wear a diaper and special underwear over it and I still wake up soaked. I’m exhausted and I’m disgusted. Any ideas suggestions anything?

Hi there, please don't be disgusted. I can understand your exhaustion. The process is not easy. Hang in there! I would highly encourage you to speak with your physician about the symptoms you are experiencing. We cannot diagnose here at the foundation but the symptoms you describe sound like symptoms associated with Nocturia. Which is quite common. A knowledgable doctor may be able to offer some helpful solutions to make life easier, or he/she may be able to survey for any underlying health conditions that may be contributing to Nocturia. You may find this fact sheet helpful! simonfoundation.org/wp-cont...

Hi- Sorry for the late reply. Is it just at night or there is urge in the day too? You might want to check out a new clinical study on urge incontinence: HTTP://elitonestudy.com

I understand not sleeping because I have sleep apnea and incontinence too. I wear diapers 24/7. I use north shore diapers, they work for me. I would check with your doctor for why you wet during the night.
