Suggest Treatment For Urinary Incontinence In Elders
I am an 83 years old male, and I have had this problem for a very long time. I find it extremely difficult to shop because of cold temperatures in supermarkets, especially in winter when it is cold outside. I wear several layers of clothing and protective pads for incontinence, but even that does not help. I try to empty my bladder several times before going out. It helps a little to gain a few extra minutes. I don't think there are any solutions for my condition. In cold weather I cannot be out of the house longer than 30 minutes.
Thank you so much for any suggestions.
