Urinary Incontinence in Men

simple>
  • Repair the tissues that support the bladder or hold it in place
  • Improve the flow of urine, for example by removing part of the prostate gland
  • Repair the muscles that control urine flow
  • Electrical stimulation of the nerves that relax the bladder
  • Devices, such as:
    • A "condom catheter, " � which fits over the penis like a condom and collects urine into a bag that is strapped to the leg
    • A penis clamp, which squeezes the penis to keep urine from leaking out (this can be used only for a certain amount of time)

  • What will my life be like? " � Many men with incontinence can recover bladder control or at least reduce the amount of leakage they have. The key is to speak up about it to your doctor or nurse. Then work with him or her to find a treatment or therapy that helps you. Sometimes it takes a few tries before you find a solution, but the effort is worth it. � �
