Re: BPH nocturnal diuresis
I would agree with Mr Harding that the use of a bladder diary is appropriate. Examples can be accessed online, searching for a bladder frequency volume chart. A production of urine at night over the age of 50 of more than 1/3 of the 24-hour production constitutes nocturnal diuresis. The actual thres...

Re: bladder weakness due to enlarged prostate
Bladder weakness can occur spontaneously in the population. It often is exacerbated by enlargement of the prostate and in many cases the exact cause is unknown. Specialist review of the situation is appropriate.

Re: Urge incontinence getting worse
Urgency incontinence (urge incontinence is the term used in the United States) is the consequence of urgency, a compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer. There are drug treatments which can be very effective for this, but some of them do have side effects. They can be accessed thr...

Re: Bulkamid
I agree with Mr Harding. Injectables are not as effective as some other forms of surgical intervention for stress incontinence. Bulkamid seems to be better tolerated by the tissues than previous therapies, but we do need to have further data in the future before suggesting it as a first-line therapy...
