Hello, has anyone encountered with problems of urinary incontinence ? I'm in my mid 20s, and been having this phasing (sometimes increases, sometimes decreases) urinary incontinence phenomena for about 3 years. Which is quite strange as it is commonly related to increased prostate, but after going to my urologist and scan being done, I was said that prostate is normal. If I recall properly, about 1,5-2 years ago when I had my girlfriend and was having sex, I used to have premature ejaculation or at least I self-diagnosed myself with that - not sure if these could be anyhow related .. ?? Kegel exercises and Deep breathing exercises , reducing stress and alterating mindset seemed to help quite a lot, but not fully.
Have not traced the problem & root causes to the urinary incontinence thing, but what I've noticed that I tend to experience it more when I drink coffee (I drink it only 2-3x a week as otherwise I feel that caffeine is slowly burning my out and reducing my basal energy levels, making me dependant on the drug "caffeine")
Additionally, what I've noticed that with the occurrence of cyclical urinary incontinence 3 years ago, I also started to wake up at nights during my sleep, sometimes 1 , sometimes even 2 times if I eat more hydrating foods. That's why I try not to drink excess liquid before sleep, consume more salt, and actually pee right before my sleep, to prevent the waking up in the middle of night , disrupting my deep sleep. That seems to be really helpful, but sometimes I wake up even doing all of that.
So, I was wondering what could be the most important factors here, root causes and possible solutions, interventions to try as it is kind of an embarrassing problem.
I hope to have provided enough of information for those who have experienced similar problems or know the possible mechanisms underlying the problem(s) and get some constructive comments here!
