Ocd - Lansing,MI

I can't answer for the O/C part, but if they have incontinence problems, there is physical therapy for that. I would not do surgery or go on Enablex/Detrol/Vesicare, etc until trying the physical therapy. I'm doing it currently. I could be the pelvic floor is not responding to signals about "holding it'. For whatever reason. Childbirth can affect it. Big babies can put a lot of weight on the area and stretch it too far.
Healing in Motion, in Ann Arbor, has a wonderful staff, good results, and I would recommend it.

My husband and son both have OCD (husband's is in remission but comes out in milder forms). My best recommendation is to encourage the person to see a psychiatrist for help. Our son takes an anti-anxiety medication called Celexa that has eliminated the symptoms of OCD. It's not a condition that family members can treat themselves ... won't matter how many times they say "but everything is okay, you don't need to ..." the person will not change. It's a very complicated disorder, but medication can help tremendously.

Good luck!

Read the book "The Boy Who Couldn't stop Washing" (can't remember the author). It will give you good insight.

Be supportive, although it may seem like the person can just stop their thoughts or behaviors, they cannot and often/most of the time need medication and professional help.

OCD is an anxiety disorder. It can be treated with medication and/or therapy.
