SO, what do you do to address male urinary incontinence?

 

There are numerous approaches:

 

• Surgery -- this can be the last resort; physicians may insert a sphincter balloon or do a sling procedure to create an internal pouch

• Synthetic injection around the urethra

• Catheterization -- having a catheter inserted into the bladder to empty the bladder

• A condom catheter -- a man’s penis fits into this devise and leaking urine falls into the device

• Medications:

  • Oxybutynin (Ditropan) treats overactive bladder and urge incontinence.

  • Flomax for guys who have an enlarged prostate.

  • Botox is injected to help bladder muscles relax

• Limit the amount of fluid you drink

• Drink smaller amount at regular intervals during the day

• Scheduling trips to the urinal more often during the day

• Absorbent underwear or pads

• Strengthening pelvic floor muscles -- through exercise or by treatments like Emsella at Wave It Away -- this is a non-surgical, no additional medication approach!!
