Hi @fayluna
It's good to meet you and thanks for posting. Have you spoken to your GP about this yet? Urinary incontinence can be quite common among people living with CP. The two most common types are urge incontinence - this means you have to go immediately. The other is neurogenic bladder you may pee too much or too little. You could have symptoms of both overactive bladder (OAB) and underactive bladder (UAB). You may not be able to fully empty it.
You will need to have a chat with you GP or Practice Nurse.
