Hi Jbl
I didn't notice any problem with incontinence, and I was on nitro for several months.
With that kind of incontinence, you can do kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles (you probably know that already).
Having babies does all kinds of things to your body, it really wouldn't be surprising if that was the root cause.
How are you doing off the nitro? Would you consider a different ointment, eg diltiazem or nifedipine? They have a different mode of action, so are worth a go if you still suspect the nitro.
Nifedipine/lidocaine, no help
Diltiazem, effective, but caused major rash
Nitroglycerine, effective.
Topical estrogen for final healing.
Gentle heat to bottom - pain relief, muscle relaxant
Kondremul mineral oil
Time - lots of time.
Status - Healed!
