19 years old with stress incontinence?

I was recently diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection. When i first started having symptoms of those things, i also started having a really hard time controlling my bladder, everytime i cough i pee all over myself. Could this be a sign of a UTI or bladder infection, and if so, could they have detected that during my pelvic exam? What can i do to get rid of it... I'm only 19 years old, i thought stress incontinence only happened to old people.

Also, i've completed treatment for the yeast infection and the BV, but am still having the incontinence.

They would not have found a UTI during a pelvic exam...wrong hole. YOu will need to go to a regular Dr for give a urine sample to test for a UTI.

That is probly the reason for it. It could be cause by the same bacteria as your other infection or from the yeast. If you are on an oral antibiotic, that should help but if it is from the yeast you may need an oral medication for that one.

If it is jsut a yeast infection the symptoms should go away and the infection clears up if it does not I would suggest you talk to your PCP he may refer you to a urologist. Meantime wear pantyliners and change them frequently

Naw, it isn't only old people who deal with this. MANY young female athletes do also.

Have you heard of a Pessary before? Kind of like a diaphram for your bladder.

They work, they are inexpensive compared to surgery (which doesn't always correct the problem)
