What is the treatment for male urinary incontinence?

Men may suffer from urinary incontinence due to a variety of factors. Patients with urinary incontinence usually show that they cannot control their urination, have frequent urges to go to the toilet, and urinate automatically every time without control. This is very harmful and needs to be treated in the hospital as soon as possible. Common treatments include medication or surgery.

What are the treatments for male urinary incontinence?

First: Non-surgical treatment of male urinary incontinence. Self-control of the bladder and urination muscles is effective for some urinary incontinence. The most commonly used are pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback and bladder training. Biofeedback and electrical stimulation enable male urinary incontinence patients to understand and control urethral muscles, and are often used in combination with Kegel exercises. Bladder training and regular urination are effective for urgency and overflow urinary incontinence.

Second: Drugs can effectively control urinary incontinence in many men by blocking excessive bladder contraction or relaxing muscles to empty the bladder as much as possible during urination. Some drugs prevent urine leakage by contracting the bladder neck and urethra muscles. The type of drug used, such as anticholesterol, α-receptor stimulant or blocker, depends on the type of urinary incontinence and weighs the pros and cons.

Third: Surgery and injection for male urinary incontinence: Teflon, collagen matrix or autologous fat is injected into the urethra near the bladder neck to improve sphincter function to treat urinary incontinence, but the effect is not satisfactory. Teflon particles may migrate to other organs such as the lungs and brain.

Notes

The above are some of the main treatments for male urinary incontinence, which are divided into surgical treatment and non-surgical treatment. So which measure to take should be decided based on the development of the patient's condition and their physical constitution, and follow the doctor's instructions.
