I'm hoping to get some advice from people who have dealt with this personally or have helped a family member. A relative of mine started experiencing urinary incontinence after surgery, and while the doctor says it may improve over time, it's been affecting his confidence and daily routine quite a bit.
I'm interested in practical tips rather than just medical information. Have pelvic floor exercises made a noticeable difference for you? Are there products or routines that make going out, traveling, or simply getting through the workday easier? How long did it take before things started to improve, if they did?
I'd really appreciate hearing about real-life experiences, what worked, what didn't, and any advice you'd give to someone who's just starting to deal with this.
