Urge incontinence is loss of urine that occurs from uncontrolled bladder contractions. Neurological disorders related to diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries are often the cause, although sometimes a man may have an over active bladder without any defined pathology.

Urge incontinence in a man requires a full investigation. Treatment is often pharmacological with a broad range of medications that can be effective. Often times the underlying problem can be addressed, which may improve bladder function.

Stress incontinence in a man is uncommon. This problem usually follows surgery, most often for prostate cancer.

Stress incontinence can be effectively treated with the implantation of an artificial urinary sphincter device. These devices are very successful providing urinary control for the average active male.

We have a large experience treating male incontinence from any cause. I had the wonderful opportunity to train with the inventor of the artificial urinary sphincter device, Brantley Scott M.D., at Baylor College of Medicine. This is a simple device to implant, with a relatively mild recovery. The sphincter device can improve the quality of life for any man who has incontinence following prostate cancer surgery, or other stress urinary incontinence problems.
