Although more common in older men, urinary incontinence can wreak havoc in the life of a man of any age. The embarrassing condition is not a disease, but simply a problem occurring when urine leaks from the bladder. Most incontinence issues are treatable and last only temporarily. These issues signal distress with the urinary tract.

1- Prostate Conditions & Treatments

Swollen prostate issues may impede the passage of urine out of the bladder. This problem usually causes the man to feel a sudden, frequent urge to urinate. Prostate surgery can weaken the muscles in the bladder, causing stress incontinence, or involuntary leaks during laughter, coughing, etc. Prostatitis, a painful inflammation of the prostate gland, is also a leading cause of urinary incontinence.

2- Full Bladder

Failure to completely empty the bladder during bathroom visits can result in leakage of urine. Known as urinary retention, the condition is extremely painful and often requires a visit to the doctor for immediate treatment. Leakage may also occur if pressure is placed onto a full bladder

3- Urinary Tract Infection

A Urinary Tract Infection, or a UTI, is a painful infection occurring in the urinary tract. It occurs when bacteria isn’t passed through the kidneys after urination. More women than men experience UTIs, but they’re nonetheless possible for men to endure. Pain is the biggest complaint of UTI suffers, though other signs and side effects of a UTI include frequent urination, sudden urges to go, and blood in the urine. If you suspect a UTI, schedule an appointment with your doctor who can prescribe an antibiotic treatment that rids the infection in a matter of days.

4- Pre-existing Health Conditions

Numerous pre-existing health conditions share a link to incontinence, particularly those affecting the nervous system. Disorders of the nervous system affect the brain’s ability to communicate with the muscles in the body. Parkinson’s Disease, diabetes, Muscular Scoliosis, and Alzheimer’s are among the nervous system conditions that may cause incontinence issues, though others also exist. Talk to your doctor about your concerns if you’ve been diagnosed with one of these conditions and experience urinary incontinence issues.

If urinary incontinence is affecting your life, schedule an appointment with your doctor. Doc knows best and will provide a proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations, as well as the peace of mind that successful treatment is ahead.
