Occupational therapy: First, i'm so sorry to hear you continue to experience the effects of your old surgery. My advice would be to seek out an occupational therapist that specializes in bladder training. Without knowing the full extent of your condition it is hard to offer meaningful advice but an ot with this speciality might be a great ace to start.

Go see a urologist: You need some testing to evaluate the reason behind this incontinence.

Most likely: First we have to establish the urinary diagnosis for the incontinence. This will include urodynamics which will provide physiologic function of the bladder. A voiding diary will be important as a baseline. Based on the urodynamics and boarding diary we may start a timed boarding program bowel program and trial of anti-cholinergic medications. Possible intervention therapies would be performed as needed thereafter.

Consult urology: This is a distressing situation, but not uncommon with neurologic disease or neurosurgery. Medications sometimes help. Instructions in using catheters and incontinence pads are beneficial. You should consult a urologist, if possible one who has an interest in urinary incontinence Good luck
