Has anyone dealt with something similar?

My husband has been having more trouble with urinary incontinence since his recent hospital stay. He is still pretty weak and spends most of the day in bed, so changing him has become difficult for both of us. I’m also worried about keeping his skin dry and noticing early signs of a UTI. Has anyone dealt with something similar?

Yes, and I found that making the routine care easier helped a lot. If he is not very mobile, I’d look for an incontinence option that doesn’t require constantly lifting or turning him for every change. I’d also pay attention to symptoms rather than assuming every change in urine means an infection. UTI test strips for men can be useful as an initial check, but they shouldn’t replace medical evaluation if he has symptoms. For the daily care itself, keeping the skin clean and dry and choosing something that is easier to change can make things much less stressful.
