She works really hard to stay out of a nursing home by staying as mobile as she can so I hate to see her suffer with this. Shes only 79. She has diarrhea a couple of times a day, sorry for TMI. Any suggestions?
She needs a urologist that understands older females.
I take a 10mg amytriptaline to stop bladder spasms.
The doctor put me on 100 mg 2X a day for 30 days first.
The lining near the urethra is very thin as we age.
