Bladder and sphincter control issues are fairly common among men past middle-age; and an enlarged prostate is only one source of the issue. There are medicinal and non-medicinal aids that can help. There are also medicines with a side effect of “increased and/or frequent urination”. There is also the issue of pride in admitting how bad the situation is - excuses come easily; wearing “depends” does not.

Only someone who knows the anxiety and embarrassment of KNOWING “holding it” will be, regardless of your “will power”, a losing battle if a remedy is not immediate, should judge anyone else with a “bladder control” issue.

I don’t know anything about the character of the Congressman. I also don’t know his medical and health issues, if any. Someone else can judge if they think the Congressman had a better option or not. I won’t.

Yeah, before he became a congressman he probably used to plan ahead like most of us...
