I am presuming you have overactive bladder or some type of urinary incontinence. I was a medical transcriptionist for a Urology group before I retired. I would urge you to see a urologist, a lady one if possible, and to explore ALL nonsurgical options before accepting surgery. There are lots of pills and ointments that can be tried. There is one ointment that my friend tried as a last resort - it is very expensive and she had to get special permission from her insurance company(not difficult because she tired everything else) but it worked right off the bat. They had told her it would possibly be two weeks to a month before she saw results but she got results within 24 hours! So, don't give up. Try everything you can before allowing surgery. The product is Gelnique. Good luck.

I had urgency incontinence and found by accident that Ambien took care of it. I was taking it for insomnia and it helped both conditions! Your body is unique so you should try everything you can before you resort to surgery. Use it as a last ditch attempt only.
