night time incontinence
My husbands incontinence at night is really hard to control because of the volume - how do other caregivers handle it? He goes thru everything including the blankets. Has anyone figured out products or ways to allow him and me to actually sleep through the night without getting up and changing everything?

There are medications that inhibit the bladder and can be judiciously administered to decrease the frequency of urination. There are also external catheter systems that are useful in some male patients. An expert on the urinary system (Urologist) would be the best physician to consult.
