Urinary incontinence is a common problem for many males.
In a number of cases, urinary incontinence will case embarrassment and a lot of
frustration as the bladder involuntarily relieves itself, without warning to
you. Although it is common to see more females dealing with incontinence a lot
of men will deal with it. Shopping for the right type of adult diapers will be
able to help you manage your condition, making it easier for you to prevent
embarrassment.
Depends for men can
provide you with relief and will make it easier to manage your problem and
resume regular activities like exercising without the worry that you could
suffer from urine loss.
There are many different types of male incontinence. In
order to purchase the correct type of
Depends undergarments, it is important to
know which type you suffer from. Let’s discuss the different types of urinary
incontinence in men to be aware of:
- Total Incontinence. When a male suffers from
this type of incontinence, you will deal with daily urine leakage due to
sphincter muscle damage. This type of incontinence is frustrating as you do not
have control over your body and it’s signals as to when it needs to release the
urine from the bladder. Depends
underwear may be the best option to consider as it will be able to help you
discreetly hide your condition. The Depends underwear is similar to cotton
briefs, which is not a big change for many men. Based on how much urine loss
you are dealing with each day, you may need to consider using thicker underwear
to help capture all of the urine to prevent any leaks. Surgery is an option to
repair the sphincter muscles, but it does not always provide lasting results or
it could make your condition worse. Speak with your doctor when considering
options to help prevent problems with total incontinence.
- Overflow Incontinence. This type of incontinence
will occur throughout the entire day. It commonly happens without warning or
when the bladder is unable to hold in all the urine. Most males will notice a
very slight dribble of urine. Overflow incontinence does have a primary symptom
of the urge to urinate at that particular moment. If you are able to make it to
the restroom in time, you may end up noticing only a few drips of urine that
come out. The Depends for men that you might want to consider in this case will
include guards, adult diapers, and washable underwear. The protection level
again is based on how much urine loss you have. Try to keep track of the urine
loss you experience during the day so you can select incontinence products that
include proper absorption.
- Urge Incontinence. This type of incontinence
will give you the sudden urge to urinate. It comes on quickly and without
warning. In most cases, you will urinate before you are able to make it to the
restroom to use the toilet. Urge incontinence is hard to control and manage as
it may release the entire bladder. Most individuals with urge incontinence
should consider adult diapers that come with higher absorbance options. This
way you will be able to capture the urine loss and save yourself from being
embarrassed.
- Stress Incontinence. Females commonly deal with
this type of incontinence, but there are a growing number of men suffering from
it. Stress incontinence will occur when sudden force is placed on the bladder
and it forces the urine out. Coughing, laughing, and sneezing are all examples
of things that can force the urine out quickly. Most males suffering from
stress incontinence can try and stop it quickly and you may not lose a large
amount of urine. If you have lighter urine loss concerns, consider using
Depends products for men that are lighter in absorbency. The Depends guards
will work for stress incontinence as you can place the insert in your regular
underwear.
