I never had incontinence but I did read Calmoseptine cream helps with the burning. Hope this helps and good luck hon.

I have had some minor incontinence here and there. It is fairly common as women age, particularly if you have had multiple pregnancies. The pelvic ligaments sag over time and gravity takes its toll. I have both a cystocele and rectocele, along with uterine prolapse. But, even with all that and being over 65, I have not had full incontinence.

I would not recommend using Calmoseptine vaginally! Ouch!

I am sure the urologist will be able to sort it out.

Jan :

Thank you very much, Jan.  (The gel that was prescribed was Lidocaine. )

Definitely don’t use calmoseptine on vaginal mucosa. Total different type of skin from the perianal area—way more sensitive. The heaviness could be from a prolapse as Jan said (vaginal, “rectal” or uterine). And the burning could be anything from an infection (despite a normal urine culture) to vaginal atrophy and dryness (not uncommon in post- menopausal women). If vaginal atrophy, they can prescribe a topical estrogen cream often with good results. Having more vaginal moisture also reduces your risk of future infection/UTIs. Good to see a urogyn for the incontinence which comes in different flavors, e.g urge, overflow, stress incontinence (every time you sneeze you pee a little) each with some different treatments. Good luck.

Thank you so much.
