Thanks so much for your experience and reaching out to me. I have heard of that a book so your recommendation validates that it's worth buying. It's so hard not seeing results and the feeling that my incontinence is not improving. It has also been difficult to find an actual pelvic floor specialist as opposed to a physical therapist who does not have the specific expertise to help me.
I wish I was dry at night and at least have better days than others. But standing and walking, especially around dinner time has been the most difficult. It's not like when I feel I need to go that I have the chance to hold it. I can do that standing over the toilet. The problem is that it comes with shorts bursts without a chance of stopping it. This has been the most frustrating part for me.

I feel like I'm doing everything I can with very little progress, so I hope the book can help.

If kagles and other Pelvic floor exercises don’t work, the following usually do.

These are solutions for incontinence that work well if you have not had radiation. ProACT works quite well and stops incontinents almost completely. The other option is the sling. You can easily read up on both of these options.

If you had radiation that affects the urethra (most radiation other than spot radiation ) or may have it in the future these devices do not work well. Only the AUS works in those conditions
