What is Male Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence in men refers to the involuntary leakage of urine. It can be caused by a variety of factors including:
• Prostate Issues: Such as post-prostate surgery effects.
• Bladder Dysfunction: Overactive bladder or bladder muscle weakness.
• Neurological Disorders: Conditions affecting nerve signals to the bladder.
• Aging: Changes in the urinary system due to aging.
Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment.
Diagnosing Male Urinary Incontinence
Our clinic employs comprehensive diagnostic methods to determine the cause and severity of incontinence, including:
- Medical History Review: To understand any underlying conditions.
- Physical Examination: Assessing the health of the urinary tract.
- Urine Tests: To check for infection or other abnormalities.
- Urodynamic Testing: Measuring bladder strength and function.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the type and cause of incontinence and may include:
• Behavioral Therapies: Bladder training and pelvic floor exercises.
• Medications: To control bladder contractions and improve continence.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Such as botox injections for bladder control.
• Surgical Options: For more severe cases, including artificial urinary sphincter, ProAct or male sling procedures.
Our goal is to provide treatment that best suits your lifestyle and reduces the impact of incontinence on your daily life.
