Regain control and confidence
Urinary incontinence can affect men at any age, but it’s usually linked to prostate health or changes after treatments like prostate surgery. You might notice bladder leakage, a sudden urge to go or trouble holding urine, especially during physical activity or recovery.
These symptoms can be frustrating and disruptive, but they’re also very treatable. With the right care plan, many men see meaningful improvement and are able to get back to their normal routines with greater confidence and control.

What causes urinary incontinence in men?
In men, urinary incontinence is usually related to the prostate or changes in nerve and bladder function. These changes can develop over time or happen after certain treatments, and they’re more common than you might realize.
Common causes include:
- Enlarged prostate (BPH), which can affect urine flow
- Side effects of prostate surgery or radiation
- Nerve damage from conditions like diabetes, stroke or Parkinson’s disease
- Weak bladder or sphincter muscles, which make it harder to hold urine
- Blockages, such as kidney or bladder stones
Understanding what’s causing your symptoms is an important first step. With a clear diagnosis, your care team can recommend the most effective treatment to help you regain control and feel more confident day to day.
Treatment options for men
Treatment for urinary incontinence in men depends on your symptoms, overall health and the underlying cause. Our goal is simple: help you regain control, improve bladder function and get back to your daily routine with confidence.
Your care plan may include:
- Medications to improve bladder control or reduce symptoms
- Behavioral strategies and pelvic floor exercises to strengthen control
- Minimally invasive therapies, such as nerve stimulation
- Surgical procedures
Many men benefit from a personalized combination of treatments.
When surgery may be an option
For some men, especially those with stress urinary incontinence or symptoms after prostate treatment, surgery may be recommended if other treatments haven’t provided enough relief.
Surgical options may include:
- Male sling procedures, which provide support to the urethra and help reduce leakage
- Artificial urinary sphincter (AUS), a small implanted device that helps control urine flow
- Nerve stimulation therapies, for certain cases related to bladder signaling and urgency
Surgery is usually not the first step. Your care team will take the time to understand your symptoms, explain your options and help you decide what feels right for your lifestyle and goals.
