Urinary Incontinence with constant drip

Could not get on with the Depend pants. They sagged when they got the least wet.

I find Tena Premium best. Often use in conjunction with Tena number 3 pads 

11 weeks on since my RP so time for an update.

Still leaking like a sieve but fortunately still dry overnight.

Managed to see my surgeon for the first time last week. I gather that when he did the Lymph Node Dissection he had to remove more tissue than he normally does and that this can have an adverse effect on regaining continence. I got the normal "It's still early days" and "Keep doing the exercises".

I have finished the 2 weeks course of 20 mg Duloxetine and he has started me on a 6 week course of 40 mg tablets in conjunction with a drug called Trospium Chloride.

Has anyone been on this combination and did it work?

Still experimenting with the Conveens. Have now got the longer ones. I find you have to use the Prep for good adhesion. Not sure that I trust them for a day out. Pads can be easily replaced. A malfunction with the Conveen would be immediately visible.

I hope everyone is coping during these extraordinary times we are living through.

Keep well and keep happy.

I never thought of wearing a pad with the Conveen. I would have thought that it would be a bit crowded down there!

I'm still having problems with the Conveen. I wear the thigh bag so the plastic tube is cut really short. I can't think how else to do it. The problem is that the tube can easily get a kink in it and the urine backs up and can force its way to the back of the sheath and/or loosen it. If it's pulled partially off, the kinking gets even worse.

I wish I could get on with the Conveens, but I don't think I will.

Hi guys. Just logged into the forum this morning after an absence of almost 5 years!! I have now posted a possible non surgical solution to those with moderate incontinence where you are using more than a couple of pads a day. It's entitled Stress Incontinence Management. It's based on a sheath and modified thigh bag, and has worked brilliantly for me for the last year or so. May be worth a try.

I found that the sheaths that I first started using (Bard Clear Advantage Spirit Style 1) failed occasionally and then more frequently for some unknown reason. A chat with the suppliers suggested an alternative style 3 which has adhesive the full length of the sheath instead of only in the middle length. These have resolved the problem with no failures since I started using them about 8 months ago.  

Hi,

I've responded to your new post.

Thanks.
