I coughed for 6 weeks. Incessant coughing caused a flare-up of the incontinence and my midwife referred me to a urologist. The urologist offered surgery. I declined and managed with Kegels alone. I cannot run, but I can have intercourse without a problem. Unlike you, I do not have a uterus problem - just the bladder is my problem, so my situation is easier. But it is good to know that should my situation worsen, there is always surgery.
He most definitely should be sympathetic! Shame on him! How does he expect YOU to treat HIM in case HE develops erectile dysfunction, may I ask out loud?

It's good to know that I'm not alone with this problem. It is embarrassing to acknowledge; but as Dr. Phil says, "you can't fix what you don't acknowledge." I've been doing Kegels, but must confess, not regularly. I like your sense of control you seem to have with your condition. Also, you don't seem to be afraid of surgery if needed. I am very much afraid of surgery, but will cross that bridge when I get there. I like what you said: "Shame on him! How does he expect YOU to treat HIM in case HE develops erectile dysfunction, may I ask out loud?" Kind of funny but so true. Thanks again
