Background: Amid the global health challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, an association with urinary system complications has been identified. Urinary incontinence (UI) has become a significant post-COVID sequela among males, with substantial implications for their quality of life. Objective: The study aimed to quantify the frequency and delineate the severity of urinary incontinence in post-COVID male patients, as well as to document the prevalence of associated lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was executed, engaging 400 male post-COVID patients aged between 45 to 64 years from three hospitals in Lahore. Participants were selected via non-probability convenience sampling and provided data through the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-UI SF) and Male Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-MLUTS). Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 21. Results: The prevalence of urinary incontinence among the participants was high, with 367 (91.75%) reporting some degree of UI. In terms of severity, moderate UI was the most common, affecting 248 (67.5%) of those with UI, followed by slight UI in 82 (22.5%), and severe UI in 37 (10%) participants. The study identified urgency (reported by 133 participants or 33.3% 'occasionally' and 132 or 33% 'most of the time') and postvoid dribbling (reported by 159 participants or 39.8% 'most of the time') as the most frequent symptoms. Notably, there were no reports of very severe urinary incontinence. Conclusion: The study concludes a high prevalence of urinary incontinence among male patients post-COVID-19, with the majority experiencing moderate severity. These findings underscore the importance of including urinary incontinence assessments in post-COVID patient care and may inform the development of targeted interventions to improve patient outcomes.

Linked below is an article that describes how a certain group of individuals report picking up more adult diapers than usual. The article explores the possibility that more people are wearing because of Covid. This article is just one more reason we need to reduce diaper-stigma. As diaper wearers most of us choose to be discreet but we know intuitively that there is no shame in tossing a soiled diaper in a public trash can. I myself have littered used diapers because I was ashamed and afraid of getting caught. Every once in a while it seems like another article pops up where a local Sheriff's department finds several adult diapers littered along a highway. Can we get to a place where tossing a used adult diaper in a trash can is not considered a big deal? Are we already there but we are still too embarrassed by what others might think? Maybe we need more private public bathrooms? I like to think if I saw someone disposing of such a thing I would try to make up my mind that it's no big deal. Although something tells me I would secretly think that person was brave and cool. https://www.saltwire.com/atlantic-canada/news/urine-trouble-pee-bottles-and-adult-diapers-latest-trash-trend-in-cape-breton-100614194/ -
I currently have COVID (I'm OK, no symptoms) I was going to sneak some nappies into the rubbish before collection...until it occurred to me that it could be transmitted through urine. I looked it up and I was right, so if anyone else has it I'd wait until your isolation period is over before throwing them out, because they could potentially pose a risk to the bin men.

Hello Everyone: I have heard that the USNS Comfort, (TAH-20) a Hospital Ship, is Deploying to New York Harbor, to assist in the Covid-19 Pandemic. Usually, it takes 5 days to Ramp Up after being activated. The USNS Mercy, (TAH-19), A Hospital Ship is deploying somewhere on the West Cost. As Mercy is Stationed in the West, it will probably serve that coast, while Comfort assists on the East Cost. Info Below: Huge Navy Hospital Ship Heads for New York Harbor Brian
