Hi Bittyhorse23,

Just read your query, I didn't see anyone mention a possible urinary tract infection. You should see your regular doctor, have them do a urine culture. It could be totally unrelated to your cf. And you're right, 27 is much too young for depends!! Feel better...

When i saw this post i knew it would be right up my alley....lol
I never really had much problems with coughing till after i got cepacia. I started to have a more frequent and harder cough which led to exactly what you are describing. Well last year i was food shopping and had a coughing attack come on suddenly ,so i put the cart aside and left the store fully intending to go back and finish my shopping after i coughed it all out in my car. Well that didnt happen as i planned, because walking and coughing continuously caused me to actually pee myself. I almost couldnt believe it ,but lets face it after years of coughing and coughing, we are wearing our pelvic muscles down. I've tried the kegel exercises and they do help a lot TILL i get sick and have a wicked cough, then i am forced to use poise panty liners ( for bladder leaks). I have often wondered if males with cf have this problem..................
