Incontinence
Does anyone know if bowel and bladder incontinence are frequently a side effect of LBD?
My husband had bladder (old guy stuff) previously, but this is gone into warp speed.
He also goes thru (about 3 times a month) several days of constipation, which I understand can be related to LBD.
Then, it is the rodeo of bumping up fiber, hydrate, pain, laxative and as a last resort enema.
Does anyone else have experience with this?
Also, which type of incontinent briefs have you tried and which are the most effective?
I feel like I’m not managing this the best way possible.
Thanks.

Has he had a work up for the incontinance? It could be as simple as a UTI.
Yes, they are running some cultures. He seems to be on the rally today...
Yes. Incontinence is definitely part of LBD.
