Hi, Im a guy 22 years old and have a problem with wetting myself. The urge just hits me all of a sudden and I just cant hold it. Its like my bladder muscle just shuts down when I try to retain it. It happened most recently when I was standing in line at a conveneince store to get a pack of cigarettes. All of a sudden I felt a sensation in my bladder sort of like a twitch, then a powerful urge to go. I was about the 3rd or 4th person in line, and the line was long, so I just tightened up the best I could but the urge kept getting worse. I felt it start to travel up my urethra so I cupped my hand over my goin to try to hold it better then I felt a tiny small bit of warmness and I knew some had came out. I was still trying to hold on to keep it in but finally an urge hit me like a title wave and then a high pressure stream had started and I couldnt stop it. People were staring and snickering because of the huge wet area on my pants. I bought the cigarettes any way cause after that really needed one. Im glad I was out of town so no one knew me. This happens alot in my life, not this particular incident but similar. The doctor told me its just an overactive bladder, he prescribed medication, and it cleared up for a while but now its starting again. Has this ever happened to anyone before, if so how did you deal with it, because its put a damper on my social life.
