Suggest Treatment For Urinary Incontinence
I m 50 and have just started leaking which seems to be urine but I m not certain. The odor is strong and I m very self conscious. I also had a period - it s been a year since the last and my tampon is full of this leakage which is clear but very strong odor and I m not sure if it s urine. When I open the garbage can the smell is strong of ammonia - I m very concerned as to what this might be.

Hi,
As per your complain you have problem of urinary incontinence. I mentioned following reason behind this, like more alcohol drinking, caffeine, carbonated drinks, citrus fruits also cause urinary incontinence. Some drugs side effect also cause this type of symptoms. Urinary tract infection also cause this type of symptoms. Constipation or menopause also lead to urinary incontinence problem. Neurological conditions also ruled out.
Start a treatment according to cause. Consult a nephrologist for further diagnosis. Avoid alcohol drinking and smoking. Too much or too little water drinking may cause urinary incontinence. Over weight also cause this type of symptoms. Pelvic floor muscle exercises is helpful in some case.
I hope my guidance is helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rachana Goswami
