| Male Incontinence Treatment |
When the topic of incontinence comes up many people assume
that this is just a problem that women must deal with. However, there are a
large number of men that are dealing with incontinence. The problem of
incontinence must be dealt with in two different ways. Both management and
treatment are integral parts of dealing with male incontinence. However, the
good news is that there are ways that male incontinence can be both managed and
treated.
The management of incontinence begins with having the right
incontinence product. Today, manufacturers of incontinence products understand
that men with incontinence have very different needs then women. This has led
to the development of incontinence products for men. These incontinence
supplies will address and manage the needs of men with incontinence. A wide
range of incontinence products can be bought at online sites that offer adult
incontinence products. Men with incontinence can choose from incontinence
underwear. Incontinence underwear can be used with or without incontinence pads.
Adult diapers are available to help manage moderate to heavy incontinence.
It is important to understand that
there are other incontinence supplies that can be helpful in the management of
incontinence. These supplies include but are not limited to: incontinence bed
pads, personal cleaning supplies, and disposal bags among many other items.
Understanding the needs of the person with incontinence is crucial to
determining what incontinence supplies you should have. For help and
guidance in selecting incontinence products please click on http://caregiverpartnership.com/incontinence-product-finder.
When a man begins experiencing incontinence symptoms he
should immediately seek out a medical evaluation. Many health experts believe
that male incontinence is severely underreported due to the fact that many men
feel shame and embarrassment over having incontinence. It is crucial that any
man who is having incontinence symptoms realize that they are not alone and
that treatment is available. This is extremely important due to the fact that
most incontinence has an underlying medical cause. This means that delaying
treatment not only reduces the chances of successfully dealing with the
incontinence but the reason behind it as well.

There are many different treatment options when it comes to male incontinence. Your doctor will determine which treatment option is best based on your health status, age, and the cause of the incontinence. Some of the available treatment options are-
- Medications-For some men prescription medications can successfully treat their incontinence symptoms. It is important to realize that some medications work for certain people and don’t work for others. You will need to be willing to explore your options with your doctor until you find the right medication to treat your incontinence symptoms. Your doctor will base the success rate of using prescription medications on what type of incontinence that you have and what the possible side effects will be.
- Behavior management-This type of therapy has been shown to be highly effective in reducing or even eliminating incontinence symptoms. Physical therapy, behavioral training and biofeedback all fall under this category. Your doctor will be able to guide you in which treatment option is right for you based on your health and type of incontinence.
- Surgery-This option is most often used when other treatment options have been exhausted, if there is a birth defect or physical problem that is causing the incontinence, or if the incontinence is extremely severe. Most doctors will only turn to surgery as a last resort and the success rate again will depend on what type of incontinence the man is experiencing.
