Having Trouble With Night Time Incontinence

Westcoast JoeMember

Hello Everyone,
I have not particiapted on this site for a few years. I have not had many problems until the last few nights. I seem to have had many accidents while I sleep. This has put the fear into me like nothing before. All of a sudden I feel like I have lost everything and I'm freaking out. What causes this to come on suddenly? I changed underwear 3 times last night. Could it be an infection? I have always had great control. Really need your help. Not sure if I should go to the doctor. Please help.

I'd make a doctor appointment just to reduce my anxiety level. Just me though. I tend to panic when things change.

Have you tried kegel exercises? They worked for me, but it will take time.

It's possible you've developed pouchitis or cuffitis. By all means, see your doctor. A course of antibiotics and/or canasa could be all you need. Best of luck.

Nighttime incontinence is always a surefire sign of pouchitis for me. Hopefully the right antibiotics will clear it up. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. I took some Imodium last night and did not have a problem. Hopefully it has gone back to normal.

My record was two on the same night. Luckily, my doc has never found pouchitis.

I have noticed that night poops happen when one of two things happen:

1. I have a really bad night and am too exhausted to listen to the signals to wake up.

2. I am really tired (not necessarily at #1 levels) and sleep on my back.

The times I wake up and am aware of the poop, I am on my back.

I generally do not take much immodium or pepto bismol, which could probably help at times.
