my Mom is 79, had a hysterectomy in her 40's , now she is beginning to have difficulty emptying her bladder, doc suggests inserting a catheter but she isn't sure about wanting to have that done, now her spincter muscles are tighter then usual - but now after this last doctor visit she suddenly has a little leakage when coughing, any ideas suggestions would be appreciated - I think I need to call the doctor as she went in alone - and is pretty sharp for 79 - but this would be a big medical procedure for her.
