Sorry to jump late into this conversation but I'm having serious issues.
A few weeks ago, I ran a 5K and seriously....I had wet my pants down to my knees. I didn't even realize it until I got to close to the finish line. I was mortified!

So, I decided to schedule an appointment with the urologist to see about getting surgery, (the Kegal thing just doesn't work for me - I've tried believe me!)
So I go in, he prescribes me Detrol just to go through standard protocol. He said he didn't think it would work but we have to go through these steps to see if it does - probably because of insurance.
Now let me say I hate taking medication! I am so opposed to them but I figured I'd take the Detrol just to get to the goal, (surgery and a better bladder). The very next day, the urgency was gone. Completely gone! I was shocked and disappointed in a way. My bladder felt numb, (I say numb because I've always felt sensation & aware of my bladder - I can't explain it but with the Detrol I felt normal rather than how I always use to feel).
I'm so sorry this is long....I still leak when exercising so I do think there are "structural"

issues since the birth of my kids. My whole life I've had incontinence issues, as kid I wet my pants many times and was so embarrassed, it's always been an issue with me. I don't want to be on Detrol for the rest of my life, but you have no idea the difference it has made....I feel so much better!
Does anyone have ANY information on herbally treating incontinence? I've also read that Detrol will make you lose your hair....I don't want to take this medication but it is such a relief to not have the urgency I've always had.
Suggestions?
Also, I'm on a low-carb diet, we eat very healthy and exercise A LOT!

What gets me is that this has been happening to me since I was VERY young. I don't understand why.
