Male incontinence, or the involuntary loss of urine, is a medical condition that affects many men, but it’s often not talked about due to the associated stigma. However, understanding and addressing it can drastically improve quality of life. It’s not just a part of aging; various factors like surgeries, injuries, or underlying conditions can trigger it.
The good news is that male incontinence is treatable. There are different types – stress, urge, overflow, and functional incontinence, each with its unique cause and treatment. Depending on the type and severity, solutions can range from simple pelvic floor exercises to medications and minimally invasive procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Male Incontinence
After having your prostate removed - the mechanisms involved in preventing leakage of urine can be injured, and therefore it is very common to have leakage following surgery. Leakage of urine can also occur after other surgeries as well.
At Men’s Health Clinic Manitoba, we strive to provide men the best possible treatment to help regain their freedom and confidence.
A thorough history and physical examination will be performed. Some key elements that will be identified include: duration of leakage, potential triggers, volume of leakage, bothersome and pertinent past medical and surgical history.
Investigations can include:
Urine studies (rule out infection)
Cystoscopy (camera looking at the urethra and bladder)
Urodynamics (evaluate bladder function)
Regain of sphincter control can happen after removal of the prostate.
Like any muscle that has been injured, it does take time. Initial treatment options include lifestyle modifications and pelvic exercises.
For men with ongoing incontinence and who fail conservative treatments, option include either a male sling or artificial urinary sphincter.
The Male Sling
A male sling is a thin piece of mesh which elevates and compresses the man’s urethra. This supports the sphincter and allows men to control their urine stream with less effort.
Artificial Urinary Sphincter
The artificial urinary sphincter is a device which is intended to duplicate the normal male sphincter. A small balloon is placed around the urethra and gently applies pressure to prevent leakage. A small pump is placed inside the scrotum that is squeezed to empty the small balloon to allow a man to empty his bladder.
