What is incontinence?
Incontinence occurs when the sphincter muscle is not strong enough to hold urine in the bladder. Because of this, involuntary leakage could occur whether your bladder is full or not. While most people who suffer from incontinence are female, there is a good percentage of men who deal with this frustrating issue as well.
Incontinence is not an umbrella condition – one size does not fit all. Some people have this condition due to a medical issue or a past treatment. There are several different types of incontinence such as: hypermobility, intrinsic sphincter, overflow, pelvic prolapse, stress, total, and urge.
It’s common for men who deal with incontinence to also suffer from erectile dysfunction. Thankfully, we can help with both conditions!
