I need help with double incontinence without surgery, any advice?

I am doubly incontinent due to detrusor instability and a bowel prolapse.  Unfortunately I cannot have surgery under general anesthesia because of a high sensitivity to scoline which causes me to lose my breath, and I have been informed that no surgeon will touch me with a barge pole as they will not take the risk of my death on the operating table.   So, I am hoping that my problem can possibly be resolved without surgery - any suggestions, advice or experience of this?   Thanks in advance.

    unfortunately their likely isn't many options beyond managing your condition the best you can I would think. As someone who deals with off and on urinary incontinence that I manage using incontinence briefs. I feel your pain if you have an questions about managing or anything like that I could at least try to answer as I have gotten decent at that at least

      I don't think with the issues she described as causing her issues pelvic floor exercises would have much effect much like they are not helpful in my case
