Very embarrassing question about bladder leakage....?

This is very embarrassing. I noticed the other day that the sweat in my undergarments smelled very much like urine. However, I didn't feel any urine coming out. Could this just be strong sweat or could I possibly have a leakage?

I am post menopausal by 10 years so I know its not peri-menopause. The sweat is in the upper pubic area.

Serious replies only please. This is extremely embarrassing as it is without anyones wise act remarks.

It could be either. And no need to be embarrassed.

A lot of women have leakage after menopause, but it would be best to talk to your doctor to find out if in fact it is urine.

In the meantime, use a Poise pad or Depends pad to prevent possible leakage and any smell associated it with it.

I hope you find out which it is. And remember, even if it is leakage from urine, you are totally not alone.
