Incontinence problem

I've had this slight incontinence problem for a couple of years now (getting worse as time goes by). I've been to the gynae and to urologists but they havent managed to figure out the problem (or rather find a solution to it). I go to outpatients at our local hospital since private gyanes are too expensive here. This means however that I keep getting seen by a new doctor every time, or referred to others.... and they are always male.

Anyway basically my problem is that i 'leak' at different times during the day - not necessarily when i cough or sneeze as i know can happen. I always have to wear panty liners and for example i dread going to the beach because i cannot wear a pantyliner and i feel very 'unsafe'. I dont leak alot at a go (not that i'd have to change my underwear) its just a bit at a time...kind of the same feeling as when you have your period and sometimes you feel the blood flow coming out a bit if you squirm or move....its that same kind of feeling (which obviously i could never explain to a male doctor!!). Sometimes I wonder if maybe i am mistaking it for excessive discharge although i dont think it is. It is yellow smelly liquid which stains my pants. I am only 23 years old so its not really normal for my age to have an incontinence problem (i never had kids either). I've tried Kegel exercises also but i dont think they work....and i dont always remember to do them.

Can anyone help?? Has anyone had anything similar?? I am really desperate. I hate always having that wet feeling in my pants. It also effects me during sex coz i'm always scared i'm going to leak so i keep stopping and running to the bathroom.

This is really getting me down. Someone help please!!
