Constant bladder pressure, accidental urination or painful intercourse should not be an everyday part of your life. It's never too late to treat these issues, especially when... the solutions are right here, at your fingertips.

Hello-
Thank you for sharing your story. I have a fantastic resource that I can recommend. It's called the Accidental Sisterhood. It's a book and DVD that is founded by the belief that pelvic floor therapy is always the first step to treating incontinence. Visit www.accidentalsisterhood.com. There is both a book and exercise DVD. The book is being offered for free right now. Use promo code SOLUTION at check out. You can also speak directly to Dr. Bologna (a fantastic urologist and author of the book) by visiting the website as well. Best Wishes and Good Luck!

I am 65 y.o., have urinary incontinence secondary to MultipleSclerosis. I had been seeing a urogynecologist who wanted me to self-cath. Because the sensation in my hands/feet is affected, I wasn't sure I could do that. She was insisting, not listening to me at all. Then I read on an MS site that Pelvic Floor Therapy could help. I was really wanting to try PFT. When I did get an appt, the therapist was so helpful and encouraging. I responded positively almost immediately. What a relief!!!
I now know I must do the little "squeezes" for the rest of my life.
In addition, dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse) plagues me now. Intercourse was NEVER a problem for me before breaking my leg because of MS.
Am wondering if anyone can give me some wisdom on this issue. I have a loving husband and we have been 'working' on this for some-time. I'm disappointed with myself. He is very patient and understanding, but I'd like to be more comfortable, and willing as I once was.
Anyone, please HELP!!
