A Daily Bladder Diary
If you think you may be suffering from sudden urine loss, here is a tool to help you track your bladder patterns and provide a discussion point for you and your doctor on the condition. By completing the diary you will be able to provide your doctor with a daily record that includes timing (i.e. morning), frequency (i.e. four times in one day), and type (i.e. accidental leaks).

To obtain a pattern, it is recommended that you track this information for 3 to 4 continuous weeks. To access your diary, click here.

Talking to Your Doctor
Speaking openly to your doctor or other healthcare provider about your sudden urine loss is the key to discovering these options and regaining the full, active lifestyle you once had.
After discussing your medical history and urinary symptoms with you, your doctor will probably examine you, order a urine test and possibly suggest other tests.
Before diagnosing urinary incontinence, your doctor will rule out any temporary, reversible causes for urine loss, such as a urinary tract infection or certain medications you are taking. If you are diagnosed with urinary incontinence, your doctor will discuss the type and cause of your incontinence with you.

With your help, he or she can determine the type and cause of your incontinence, which is the first step toward finding the best treatment for you.
