I am 23 years old and have fectal and urinal incontinence. How do I change my diapers?


I have a son, also with incontinence who is five years old, but he is too young to change his own diapers. He is becoming embarrased when he is at school and he has to have the teacher change his diaper. How can I help him as well?

OMG! I know what is 'wrong' with us, we have urinal and fectal incontinece!

First of all, you reach down with your hands and take the diaper off, take wash cloth and clean your self and put another one on. Set the lad down and explain how to change the diaper, give him some wipes to carry to school with him. Have you seen a Doctor about this problem?

5 years old? That's not young .. Well, try to teach him!

i suggest you both go to the doctor and find out what is wrong with you.

I am assuming you already have been assesed and diagnosed by a urologist correct? If not, than that is the first step you need to take.. There are several treatment plans and options that can make your life much easier.. Once you have been diagnosed, you can schedule a treatment consult with your physician and decide on your course of action.. This is not an uncommon issue with females.. especially after having children
As for you son- im not sure how normal this is.. You really need to consult his pediatrician on this issue

Use the kind you can tear on the side and get off easily or tape on the side, tear would be easier for your son. And they would would be easier to replace. Do you know or have you both been to see the Dr, I hope you have.===

Maybe you can teach him how to use pull ups instead of a regular diaper, and send him with a few in his book bag, and speak with the school so they know why he needs to take his book bag with him to the restroom, this might help if he is feeling embarrassment, and be a more discreet way of going about it. I am sure it is hard - Hope you find something that works.
