Definitely. It's getting worse too. I'm thinking of checking into a device from Axonics. I'll keep you posted.

Hi Rose. In response to your question about incontinence. Yes, there are many of us that this has become a problem for. My doctor told me not to try to hold it in if busy. Not to let it build up & to go more often. It does make a difference in my case. I still have the problem, but this does help.😊

Hi Rose, incontinence can indeed be a concern for some people with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's can affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls bladder function, leading to issues like:

- Urinary urgency: A sudden, strong need to urinate
- Frequency: Needing to urinate more often than usual.
- Nocturia: Show Full Answer

Hi Rose, incontinence can indeed be a concern for some people with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's can affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls bladder function, leading to issues like:

- Urinary urgency: A sudden, strong need to urinate.
- Frequency: Needing to urinate more often than usual.
- Nocturia: Frequent urination during the night, which can disrupt sleep.

It's important to discuss these symptoms with your neurologist, who can provide guidance and potential treatments.
