Boyfriend has incontinence

Communicate Boyfriend has incontinence
Keeping communication open.

Dear Mrs. Figgins:
 
I love my  fiancé alot, and I’m quite afraid to write this letter.
He has a bed wetting problem and he’s is so embarrassed he refuses to really talk about it or see a doctor.  
 
He’s very loving and I feel so bad for him.  I know he’s angry about his problem, and don’t want to do or say anything to ruin our relationship and yet I want to help him beacause I love him.
 
Can you please give me some help please?
 
Jordan, Milwaukee

 

Dear Jordan:
 
Although this has to be difficult for your  fiancé,  incontinence is treatable and often curable at all ages.
Indeed, urinary incontinence affects older men more often than younger men, but the onset of incontinence can happen at any age. 
In men, incontinence occurs because of problems with muscles that help to hold or release urine.
 He is not alone – and neither are you.
Encourage him to talk with his doctor.  As with anything, the sooner you tackle the situation, the better.
Mrs. Figgins
