Re: Is there anything else I can try?
Failure of conservative measures such as you describe should prompt referral to a urologist or urogynaecologist for further investigation. You may need to have a urodynamic study to define the cause of your incontinence. I would not recommend empirically trying any further treatments at this point.

Re: Incontinence and hormones
Unfortunately the menopause sometimes make things worse. Have you tried vaginal oestrogen cream - this can be beneficial in such cases.

Re: Some nights I have to get out of bed four times to urina
The first step (if you haven't done it already) would be to complete a bladder diary - some patients make more urine at night than during the day - a condition known as nocturnal polyuria - this would be the first thing I would want to rule out.

Re: Nephrogenic Adenoma
This is indeed an uncommon problem. I have had a couple of patients that have responded to resection of the adenoma (I assume its in the bladder). May be worth discussing the relative merits of this with your urologist.
Re: Burning
Sometimes making the urine less acid is good for this - you can buy over the counter preparations for this. Perhaps addressing the stress incontinence with physiotherapy or surgery if physio already tried should be considered.

Re: IBS and bladder issue
This sounds like stress urinary incontinence - if home exercises have not worked I would recommend referral for specialist supervised pelvic floor physiotherapy. If this is not successful you may need to see a urologist or urogynaecologist to discuss surgery.

Re: Bladder emptying/leaking
Have you seen a urologist - I would recommend you do. Sounds like you require some assessment of bladder function for these troublesome symptoms. The bladder can leak for many reasons and I would recommend further investigation to try and elucidate this in your case.

Re: Is it my Fibroids which are effecting my bladder ?
This can indeed be the case - in such cases I usually refer to a urogynaecologist for an opinion - sometimes find treating the fibroids helps with the bladder symptoms.

Re: Small bladder problem
Sometimes adding in an anticholinergic tablet (Oxybutynin, Tolterodine, Solifenacin etc) to the Mirabegron can be useful. Failing that you could talk to your urologist about Botox?

Re: Vaginal Mesh
You could try an anticholinergic drug (Oxybutynin, Solifenacin, Tolterodine etc) or Mirabegron which works in a slightly different way. You may even try a combination of anticholinergic and Mirabegron - could be worth discussing with your GP.
