Suggest Treatment For Dependent Personality Disorder

This problem is causing huge embarrassment and I don t feel as if I can speak to anyone in person about it - no one knows (as of yet apart from myself) as I dont have enough confidence to tell anyone. However, I m a 20 year old female, and basically the problem is that when I laugh too much at something I have an accident (literally wet myself) I ve had this for years but I really couldn t bring myself to talk to anyone about it in person and I m not confident and I m really embarrassed about the whole thing. So I was just wondering are there any solutions recommended for this, like medication I can have or something to prevent this happening in the future? (And also solutions which don t involve me having to speak to a doctor in person) Thank you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. The problem you are talking about is so common and there is nothing you have to worry about. The same problem might be available even before. You noticed it just now and then you are worrying. Loss of bladder and urethral support causes The loss of urine when laughing or coughing. This problem is known as stress urinary incontinence. Stress is the pressure exerted by abdomen on the urethra. When you laugh or cough, abdomen exerts pressure on the urethra and a small quantity of urine escapes. That is it. Take care.
