Male Urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. Main causes include urinary tract infections, constipation, enlarged prostate, and drinking too much alcohol or caffeine. Certain medical conditions (e.g. Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, spinal cord injuries), damage to the bladder caused during surgery and taking certain medications (diuretics, some antidepressants, sedatives) are also causes. Increasing age, being overweight and smoking can all increase the risk of developing urinary incontinence. Treatment will depend on the cause.
