Re: Incontinence smell issues with pads & undies

If I'm honest I wouldn't recommend pads for night time use. As you move around during the night the pad came become scrunched up or move totally. making leaks very likely. I would suggest pull ups and a waterproof, washable bed pad. As for smell most pads, pull ups and all in ones (adult nappies) us...

Hi all, At the moment I have total bladder loss, with no sensation. I am due to have spinal decompression surgery in the new year for a spinal stenosis.

Re: Incontinence problem

Not at all, Until I had surgery at age 14 I was doubly incontinent, post surgery I was left with a weak bladder and urge. this caused me problems off and on until I was injured in the Falklands war and this led to more severe bladder problems.

Re: Hygiene

Thank you, unfortunately, most of the hair removal creams can only be used for the bikini line, I need something that will help keep my scrotum and perineum hair free.

Re: 13 year old daughter bed wets

Bed wetting (Nocturnal Enuresis) often runs in families, normally it will clear up on its own around the ages of 18-21, although relapses can occur because of stress or anxiety. See your doctor about this as there could be a medical problem (weak or small bladder), or she may be a heavy sleeper. I'm...

Currently, I shave my pubic area but as I'm diabetic this can be problematical especially if I cut myself. Is there some form of hair removal that can be done o...

Re: What is Gynecomastia Surgery?

Gynocomastia that is caused by hormonal changes in puberty will normally resolve itself without further treatment. Unless there is an underlying cause such as a low testosterone level no treatment will be needed. Sometime in later life and especially for obese men it may cause a problem but diet and...
