Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for contacting healthcaremagic.
I understand your concern.
The stress urinary incontinence and frequency of urination are unlikely to be related to the kidney problem. It is more likely to be due to bladder problem.
The frequency of urination has been listed as a side effect of Cymbalta and it is also used to treat stress urinary incontinence.
Since you are having the symptoms for about 1 year, urinary infection is unlikely to be the cause. The most likely cause is weakness of pelvic floor muscles which causes stress urinary leakage and secondary frequency and also urge incontinence.
The standard tests that are needed include urine analysis, ultrasound of urinary tract with post void residual urine( to look for complete bladder emptying), creatinine and occasionally cystoscopy.
I would advice you to do pelvic floor exercises and if not improved by three months then you might need a test called urodynamics and possibly surgery like Tension free Vaginal Tape. If stress incontinence is currently severe then pelvic floor exercises may not help and you might need to contact an urologist or gynecologist now.
Hope that answers the question.
Please get back if you need further advice.
