My husband has attended the continence advisory and treatment service at Wallace town health centre Dundee. He had been suffering from night time incontinence which was making life very difficult as he was getting up 3 or 4 times a night.
It took some time to get an appointment. Tests showed abnormal amounts of urine produced at night. He has been given a diuretic to take and has cut out caffeine and any alcohol.
The disposable pads on offer did not stick to the pants and caused confusion as they fell out. We now buy disposable pull ups which are good but not fully absorbent.
Washable Daytime padded pants have recently arrived which are good. Padded disposable pull up pants are not provided on the NHS. We have bought bedding protection ourselves.
My husband has dementia and has needed my support at night which is exhausting and confusing for him.
