Should A Lounge Chair Be Avoided While Having Urinary Incontinence?

Hello, I am 87 years old & have been working on continence control for about 8-10 years w/some success. This evening I was sitting on a lounge chair, got up & went to our back bathroom which is some distance from where I was on a lounge chair. I thought I had emptied my bladder a little earlier, but apparently not enough. By the time I got to the back bathroom, I had released considerable urine. I was wearing 2# 3 pads, but I leaked thru to my underware & pants. I was trying to do some kegels while I was on the lounge chair, but apparently it wasn t enough or the right thing. I also have an e-string inserted every 3 months so I don t get a bladder infection. Should I avoid the lounge chair, I do exercises before bedtime with some success but I have to hurry to the toilet in our bedroom upon getting up. Any further ideas about the lounge chair or etc.?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can do anal floor strengthening exercise. It is helpful for you. Consult urosurgeon and do test whatever he advice. Due to age there is slow progress.
