Do I need to maintain a bladder diary?
Since you are experiencing urinary incontinence, keeping a bladder diary can be beneficial in identifying triggers and understanding your bladder capacity. This information helps nurses develop a personalised management plan tailored to your needs. However, if completing a bladder diary is not suitable for you, our continence nurse can discuss your symptoms and patterns with you directly to gather the necessary information for an effective assessment.
