Hi Lara
Great advice from Mr Challacombe, I’d add that if these measures don’t work visit your GP for advice. You can effectively treat urinary leakage, so be sure to seek help if it continues.
All the best.

Hi Charlie. A little more info would help tailor advice for you. Your sex, age and how long you’ve been suffering would be useful. Can you repost with this? Thanks so much.

Hi Sam It's really good that your daughters plucked up the courage to tell you, it is obviously something a teenager would find troublesome. Now you're in a great position to give her some advice that could really help her. Mr Malde outlines the main points really clearly so if you start with them y...

Hi Janeharris Great advice thusfar. Just wanted to check, as this is a new thing for you and you've been managing so long without incident; there's nothing obvious like an increase in milk/dairy products in your diet that may increase your mucus and account for more blockages? Obvious I know but per...

Hi pricklypear
