History of Presenting Complaint

Mrs Scott recently raised concerns regarding her husband’s toileting habits, sparked mostly by her concern that he had withdrawn from regular social activities that he had previously enjoyed. She felt he was depressed. Mr Scott’s overflow incontinence is being successfully managed with prazosin and his symptoms of both incontinence and depression have significantly improved.

You now suspect that Mrs Scott may also be experiencing nocturia and probable incontinence.  It is possible that she was so concerned for her husband that she downplayed her own problems.
