A member asked:
Is it common for someone to become incontinent when they faint? i donated blood and wet myself in the process. embarrassing. if relevant, i have pots

Embarrassing: You are to be commended for donating blood. Next time you donate, tell the nurse about your fainting episode so that they may take precautionary measures. It would help to drink plenty of water before donating blood. No harm done by wetting yourself, other than the embarrassment. Get HPV vaccine
