Re: BPH nocturnal diuresis

I would agree with Mr Harding that the use of a bladder diary is appropriate. Examples can be accessed online, searching for a bladder frequency volume chart. A production of urine at night over the age of 50 of more than 1/3 of the 24-hour production constitutes nocturnal diuresis. The actual thres...

Re: bladder weakness due to enlarged prostate

Bladder weakness can occur spontaneously in the population. It often is exacerbated by enlargement of the prostate and in many cases the exact cause is unknown. Specialist review of the situation is appropriate.

Each case has to be dealt with on its merits and specialist review by your general practitioner or continence nurse specialist with onward referral to a urologist would be appropriate.

Re: Intestistinal cystitis

Re: Urge incontinence getting worse

Urgency incontinence (urge incontinence is the term used in the United States) is the consequence of urgency, a compelling desire to pass urine which is difficult to defer.

Re: Bulkamid

I agree with Mr Harding. Injectables are not as effective as some other forms of surgical intervention for stress incontinence. Bulkamid seems to be better tolerated by the tissues than previous therapies, but we do need to have further data in the future before suggesting it as a first-line therapy...
