A member asked:

Does urinary incontinence occur in men as well as women?

5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

Yes: In men the cause is usually benign prostatic hypertrophy and in women weakness of urinary bladder muscles and cystocele. My line of practice in surgery and self-healing meditation to treat cancers and chronic illnesses as a secondary support managment of complementary medicine.

Yes: However men should contact their physician right away because it's less common and usually indicates a condition that should be treated. It might simply be due to an enlarging prostate, but bladder infections require immediate treatment, and neurological causes need to be identified.
