Bladder Control
Original Post: This is a little bit awkward but I wonder if anyone has "accidents" sometimes. This morning I woke up because I had peed. Could this be polio-related because of my bladder muscles becoming weaker?
Dr. Bruno’s Response: Muscle weakness from Polio could make bladders problems worse but typically it is not the main cause. See your doctor. It could be a UTI. You will probably need a urinalysis.
Editor’s Note: Bladder Basics in Polio Survivors by William M. DeMayo, MD is an article that can help.
