What medical condition makes you wear diapers for Protection?

I was just wondering what medical condition makes you use protection? Also, what type of protection is needed to control the problem?

I suffer from nerve damage. I have what is generally refered to as stress induced incontinence. I can get away with some special underwear that looks just like regular underwear. At night, I prefer to use a diaper though.

I suffer from Nocturnal Enuresis also know as bed wetting. I wet my bed almost every night now just as I did as a child until I was 9.

Love i just love to be in a diaper i love to be wet that is the best part being wet in the morining and makeing love is a wet diaper and bed it is the best thing about this hole thing

Incontinence and I am still wearing pampers baby diapers and have been in them all my life and could not imagine life without them.

I have nerve damage from a back injury, and have been bladder and bowel incontinent for 7 years. I wear abena x-plus 24-7.

I have a real weak bladder, and some stress incont

I have had type I diabetes for over 30 years, and that caused nerve damage, requiring me to be diapered day and night. However, I LOVE MY DIAPERS!! :😃

JSwill, How did your stress incontinence start out?

I have diverticular disease, for about 8 years, it gives me problems with bowel control and leakage at all times and sometimes i wake up with messy diapers, not often. I also have bladder problems for over 20 years, i pee at least every hour and get really strong urges to go for a pee so sometimes i cant get to the toilet in time, i can get about 6 hours sleep max at night and normally wake up due to painful bladder but if I've been drinking i don't wake up until I'm very wet. Have tried different drugs to help with bladder control but they all leave me feeling like **** my doc wants me to consider surgery, i don't think so.

I LOVE wearing diapers so why change.

I have a brain cyst. There are other symptoms, but bedwetting is the only bothersome one. Wearing a diaper at night is a lot better than brain surgery!

A car accident. The seat belt just about cut me in half or at least that's the way it felt.

Babynia, I'm so sorry to hear of your car accident. I was involved in 2 very serious car accidents. I kind of know what you went through & will be going through in the future. I would never wish this on anyone.

I have sleep apnea and make wet my bed

Bedwetting. I wet the bed until 15 1/2, stopped but it started again at 35 due to a prostate infection, left me with prostatic stones. Basically makes it painful to hold my bladder, at night I sleep so sound it just gradually leaks out.

I have a neurogenic bladder due to nerve dammage from a lightening strike. I also IBS, so diaper a pretty much the norm for me.

I was a bedwetter into my early teens. Not many accidents now. But I did suffer from diverticulitis. After a couple hospitalizations I elected for a bowel resection. The removed a small segment of my descending colon. The resection went well but I had a post-op infection that caused a few complications. As a result, I experience sudden and severe urgency. It was a major problem until I adjusted my diet and followed my internist's recommendation to use a bulk producing fiber supplement. As long as i follow the doctor's orders I seldom suffer from the uncontroled diarea that plagued me. But the severe urgency persists. It usually gives me little notice and will intensify to the point where I just can't hold it. The only blessing is that it isn't runny anymore. The bulk producing fiber supplement ( metamucil ) keeps me very regular and for the most part, solid. The only downside is an increase in frequency ( 2-3 bm's in the am ) and a marked increase in volume. An acceptable trade off considering. The urgency is so strong and sudden that it's just easier to wear diapers. It's much better to change out of a poopy diaper than to clean the bathroom floor or my bed. And it's just common sense to put on the diaper before going to sleep. Which leads to convenient wetting thru the evening. When I wake up, I just wait for the urge to hit and simply relax. I know I will typically have a couple of pretty big bm's within the first hour or 2 so I just wait until I feel empty before changing. I do have the rare accident but as long as it's not runny it's easily contained. I don't think people realize how difficult bowel incontinence can be. In the beginning it was overwelming. Now that I have it somewhat under control, it's more managable.

Bedwetting condition since i was 13yrs old, so i wear diaper at night.

I have bladder and bowel incontinence,chronic pain,i am a bedwetter,etc.i wear diapers of course just like everyone else on this site.hence the name "diaper dreams"

Fell from top of truck and injures my spinal cord

now ave whats called neurogenic bowel and bladder so must wear 24/7

Hi Nappyman

Anywhere near London/Surrey?

Anyone know the cause of these urinary symptoms in a male. In the last few months when I get up in the morning to wee, on standing up I have started to leak a (thankfully)small amount of urine. Also when I approach the toilet in the morning, I start urinating before I intend to, unless I make a conscious effort to stop it. Again, only a small squirt which I can quickly stop. Also had periods recently where I suddenly want to wee but am desperate within a very short time. I get up several times a night to urinate and this is affecting my sleep. Also when I have had diahorrea, I have found that clamping my bowels to retain control seems to cause a momentary loss of urinary control. Could this be diabetes or prostate?

You didn't mention your age, but your symptoms could be either prostate or possibly diabetes, or something entirely different. It could be serious or it could be something relatively minor.

Since this has been going on for several months, I think you definitely need to see a Dr. to have this checked out.

Thanks Hager. I am 48

No problem. The reason I asked about your age is that both diabetes and prostate problems tend to start in the 40-50 age group.

I'm 65 and while my prostate is still in good shape, I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes about 3 years ago. So far, it is well controlled with medication, diet and exercise.

As my late wife was fond of saying, "Once you hit 50, it's patch, patch, patch.". There's a of of truth in that.

In your case, I do think a trip to the Doc would be a good idea.

Did you notice any urinary changes with diabetes?

Not really. I have always consumed a lot of liquids so I have always had to pee a lot. One symptom of early diabetes is usually frequent urination, but I haven't noticed any difference.
