Re: Should we try botox injections again?

In a word "yes". Botox is an excellent treatment for overactive bladder symptoms secondary to neurological disease like a stroke - it may be that the original dose could be increased?

Re: overactive bladder

If you have had bladder outlet obstruction diagnosed (presuming this because you are on Tamsulosin) then this can be a cause of the symptoms you describe. Saw palmetto is a natural product that may shrink the prostate and reduce your symptoms but the evidence to support its use is patchy. In about 2...

Re: I think that I have mixed incontinence that is stress and urge

Re: Mild stress incontinence getting a little worse

I would advise seeking an appointment with a urologist or urogynaecologist for a full discussion of second-line treatments for stress incontinence. There are many options available so I'm sure there will be something to suit you.

Re: Tamoxifen and bladder issues

Oestrogen is very important for vaginal tissues and hence Tamoxifen worsening your symptoms makes sense. I would advise assessment by a continence specialist as you may benefit from pelvic floor muscle training and possibly urge suppression techniques.

Re: Stress inconvenience after childbirth

Thanks for the question. I would advise that you seek an assessment from a pelvic floor physiotherapist or continence advisor. If appropriate you may be referred to a urologist or urogynaecologist.

Re: Incontinence

I sometimes see patients with urgency symptoms after bladder outlet surgery (such as TVT) - my first line investigation is often urodynamics to see what the cause of the incontinence is and treatment can be directed from there.
