Re: Obesity and Incontinence

[Guest guest]

I have heard several of you refer to having " urinary stress incontinence. "

I know what urinary incontinence is, but what is urinary stress

incontinence, ie the symptoms? Is it different, or is just the cause

different?

Dr. Rutledge-

I suffered stress incontenance after both pregnancies- after the first

it went away after a couple weeks- with the second I fig the same would

happen... NOPE! When I finally admitted this to my OB he was really shy

about it. Dr. Z never says anything about my weight- even at its

highest point. Finally he said it could be due to the increased weight I

had not lost..

Well- after 35 pounds gone- I have LOST IT!!! No more leakage when I

cough or laugh. I really believe it was due to weight and now that I

have lost it- it is gone.
