My 14 year old had been having some problems with leaking a bit of urine here and there for the last week or so. The other night she experienced total loss of bladder control. She can't feel when she needs to go at all and seems to be unable to hold anything at all in. She's been going to the restroom frequently, but still having a lot of accidents and is contantly leaking. The doctor says he does not know what would cause this in someone her age and to wait a while and see if it gets better on it own. His only advice was to push fluids. We bought my daughter some diapers yesterday. She is really small and they aren't containing everything when she goes. She is frustrated and humiliated. I am worried and just want to be able to help her as much as possible. Does anyone have any advice for me on what might be wrong or how to handle this?

Feb 01 2012 01:58 PM You may need a thicker or more absorbent diaper like Huggies Overnites. If she is using adult disposables, you may need a baby diaper soaker inside. |

Feb 01 2012 05:51 PM Better late then never. That doctor must have fell off of the wagon of logic. Pushing fluids is a good suggestion but did this BOZO consider the very likely possibility of a serious urinary and/or bladder infection? My hope is that by now the folks who wrote this post have went seeking a second opinion. |
