Medication Change Question and urine leakage

Thank you for your reply. There have been no changes in my routine, everything is exactly the same as the past 27 years. It has been a week and a half since returning to Ditropan. This was my first visit with this urologist, and she asked me if I have dry mouth, I said oh yes I do, severe dry mouth for 27 years. She said that is due to the Ditropan, so she said I should try that toviza. She never mentioned anything about leakage being a side effect.

The reason I went to see her, was I have been having an awful lot of UTI's, and wanted to figure out why. So this medication change was due to the dry mouth, no options about helping with UTI's, and now I am leaking daily. Again thank you for your time.

Husband is new to catheter, etc. The urologist said that self-catheterization is more apt to lead to UTIs than a Foley catheter. Also, inquire about whether your bladder is completely emptying or if there is any other physical change (men: prostate/ureter/gravity). Husband was also leaving his Depends on for too many hours at a time.
