Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. You had developed urinary incontinence.
2. Its most commonly due to alcohol, carbonated drinks or urinary tract infection or rarely constipation. Get your urine analysis done for urinary tract infection. If positive, you will require treatment.
3. If its functional urinary incontinence, you can try life style changes, pelvic floor muscle training and bladder training. Any recently started medication, needs to be looked into seriously.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
