Yes, in the IC section we do tend to bombard people with the suggestion to go see a doctor. Incontinence is not a disorder or disease in and of itself, it is a symptom of something else going on. It could be overactive bladder, neurogenic bladder, any of a large number of things, and we are not doctors who can order tests and prescribe treatments. Internet diagnosis is not how you want to deal with things.
With that said, the IC subforum will give helpful advice about good products to use, keeping it discreet, whether or not insurance will help cover costs, etc. and treat it all with dignity. We have several incontinent members here on ADISC (I'm one of them), and we've spent so long dealing with this sort of issue that we understand the difficulties that it presents. We've also done our time dealing with everything from cheap diapers to premium ones, so we understand what works well and what doesn't, as opposed to just looking for something to play in. Even with that, most of us have embraced our need for diapers and the security it gives us to live our lives.
With that said, it would help us to know what level of incontinence you are fighting so we can make suggestions on what level of protection you want. Are you just facing occasional leaking, or not making it to the bathroom sometimes before your bladder cuts loose, or have you lost control completely as well? Are you looking for something like a pull-up style or a full diaper, you want to think about how often you have to change as well, which will be based on the level of incontinence you have coupled with the level of protection you use. We're happy to help here, but if you could provide a bit more info, we can help guide you better.
. Best wishes
