PATIENTS
Male Incontinence
Urinary incontinence can be a challenging condition that many men face. It involves the unintentional loss of urine, which can be both embarrassing and stressful.
This condition means having trouble controlling your bladder, which can lead to unexpected leaks of urine. It can significantly affect your daily activities and emotional well-being. Some men even report that they would rather experience impotence (difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection) than urinary incontinence, highlighting the distress it can cause.
Types of Urinary Incontinence
Men are more likely to experience urge incontinence. This means that there is a sudden and strong urge to urinate that is difficult to control, often resulting in leakage.
Stress incontinence is another type, which is less common in men and occurs when there is leakage during physical activities, such as coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
The good news is that effective treatments are available to help manage or even resolve urinary incontinence. It’s essential to discuss your symptoms and concerns with your healthcare team, as they can guide you through various treatment options. One notable option is the AMS 800™ Artificial Urinary Sphincter, which has been shown to be an effective solution for urinary incontinence.
Don’t let urinary incontinence prevent you from living your life to the fullest. Many men experience this issue, and having an open conversation with your healthcare provider can lead to effective solutions. You deserve to feel confident and active, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help today!
