What Can Cause Incontinence in Men?
Incontinence in men is often caused by diseases that affect the nerves, such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Diabetes. It is often also caused by prostate cancer and prostate surgery. For stress incontinence in men, common causes are obesity, infections and frequent pressure placed on the bladder.
Diagnosis of men’s incontinence will usually consist of a medical history and physical exam. It can be useful to keep a bladder diary before seeing a Doctor, which will include the food and liquid you consume and any accidents you have.
