EMSELLA®

Male incontinence is a common but treatable condition that involves the involuntary leakage of urine.

It can affect men of all ages, though it becomes more prevalent with age. Whether it’s due to underlying health conditions or physical changes, there are effective solutions available to help manage the symptoms and restore quality of life.

What is Male Incontinence?

Male incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine due to a problem with the urinary tract. The urinary system is made up of the kidneys, bladder, urethra, and sphincter muscles that control the release of urine. When any part of this system is not functioning properly, it can lead to urinary incontinence.

Incontinence can result from a variety of causes, including weakened muscles, nerve issues, prostate problems, and certain medical treatments. It can be caused by stress on the bladder, or it can happen when the bladder doesn’t fully empty. Symptoms of male incontinence vary, and the condition can range from occasional leaks to more frequent, uncontrollable urine loss.

Symptoms of Male Incontinence

The most common symptom of male incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. There are different types of incontinence, each with unique symptoms:

Stress incontinence: Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or engage in physical activity.
Urge incontinence: A strong, sudden urge to urinate followed by leaking before reaching the toilet.
Overflow incontinence: Inability to fully empty the bladder, resulting in dribbling of urine.
Functional incontinence: Leaks caused by physical or mental impairments that make it difficult to reach the toilet in time.

Incontinence can cause embarrassment, anxiety, and reduced confidence, which is why it’s important to seek medical help when symptoms appear.

In most cases, symptoms can be treated, and quality of life can be restored.
Book a consultation to discuss your treatment options.

Living with incontinence doesn’t have to affect your intimacy or daily life.

Many men experience incontinence but delay seeking help. If it’s affecting your lifestyle or emotional wellbeing, it may be time to talk to a doctor.

The Causes of Male Incontinence

Male incontinence can result from a variety of causes, ranging from age-related changes to medical conditions or lifestyle factors.

Incontinence is more common in older men, but it is not just a normal part of aging and can often be managed with the right treatment.

Common causes of male incontinence include:

Prostate problems: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate surgery, or prostate cancer treatments can lead to urinary issues.
Bladder dysfunction: Weak bladder muscles or nerve problems can prevent the bladder from emptying fully or controlling urine flow.
Obesity: Excess weight can put pressure on the bladder, leading to leaks.
Neurological conditions: Conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or diabetes can affect the nerves that control bladder function.
Medications: Diuretics, antidepressants, sedatives, and pain medications can contribute to incontinence.
Injury or surgery: Pelvic injuries or surgeries, including prostate surgery, can cause damage to the muscles or nerves that control urine flow.
