Don't Suffer in Silence

Incontinence

 

The loss of ability to control urination is a common problem that affects as many as one in three people. It can be easily cured or at least made manageable. As a man, you're more at risk of one of two types of incontinence as you get older:

 

urge – an overpowering urge to urinate followed by heavy leakage

overflow – small leaks from a full bladder

 

 

Data show that incontinence is less prevalent in men than women, which may explain the dearth of studies focusing specifically on men.

 

As men age, their rate of suffering from UI increases from 4.8% at ages 19 to 44 to over 21% by the age of 65 years.

 

“Sadly, many men with UI do not have the emotional and physical ability to adapt to these stressful situations and, instead, choose to suffer silently”
