It is important to understand that prostate cancer is the
most common type of cancer among adult men. Statistics show that prostate
cancer is most common in men older then 35 with the peak numbers occurring in
men who are between the ages of 50-65 years old. The good news is that there is
blood test that can screen for the possibility of prostate cancer. When many
men report symptoms of incontinence this blood test is often done to rule out
the possibility of this form of cancer.
The unfortunate connection between urinary incontinence and
prostate cancers begins when a man becomes symptomatic. This type of
incontinence is what often leads many men to seek out a medical evaluation. Because
of this it cannot be stressed enough that if any man is experiencing symptoms
of incontinence he should immediately seek a diagnosis from his doctor. It is
only through testing and evaluation that the right diagnosis and treatment of
both the incontinence symptoms and the prostate cancer be started.
Watch this video. How to choose the right incontinence product.
When a man who is experiencing incontinence is diagnosed with prostate cancer the first line of treatment is often radiation therapy. Radiation is given through a stream of radiation particles that literally burn away the cancer cells that are located in the prostate. However, because of the intense nature of the radiation it can also cause peripheral damage which can result in the man experiencing a loss of erection and incontinence. In addition, to these side effects radiation can also bring on diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and fatigue. While this treatment is appropriate for some men others need to turn to surgical measure to treat their prostate cancer.
The surgery that is performed to treat prostate cancer is
known as a prostatectomy. This surgery is risky since it can affect nerve
endings that send the signal necessary for both normal urination and sexual
functioning. However, it should be noted that due to the high risk of this
surgery this options is generally reserved for men who need extremely
aggressive treatment.
If a man needs to have either treatment option for the
treatment of prostate cancer then he may need to put management strategies in
place to deal with the side effects of treatment. This includes having the most
effective incontinence products for men. To check out

detected early can mean that you can continue to live a full and active life.
