Tamoxifen and incontinence
Hello,
I am on Tamoxifen for almost 2 years now and now starting to experience incontinence.
I made an appointment with the urologist but was wondering if anybody had the same experience.

Hi, @pikachu03!
While you wait for responses, we took a brief look at the current research on incontinence and Tamoxifen, and found this article that indicates that Tamoxifen can cause urinary incontinence in a small percentage of patients. Please keep us up-to-date and let us know what your urologist shares.
Hope this helps!

You're welcome, @pikachu03! In addition, tamoxifen can cause menopausal symptoms and incontinence is a symptom of genitourinary syndrome of menopause. You can read more here:

I hope you’ve found a solution by now. I’ve had some urinary issues, and my breast onc and a second opinion gyno said low dose Premarin applied twice a week to the peri area can help with this, and is safe.
