Urinary incontinence and overactive bladder treatment depends on the type of urinary incontinence a man is experiencing and the causes of urine leakage. Often, urinary incontinence is related to a medical condition that involves the prostate, including prostatitis, BPH, or prostate cancer treatment, as well as some of the treatments used to treat these prostate disorders. Therefore, it is not enough to know that a man has urine leakage; it is also necessary to identify the cause so the proper urinary incontinence treatment can be chosen and success is more likely.
Once your doctor has identified the type and cause of your urinary incontinence, the most appropriate treatment(s) can be chosen. Available treatments for urinary incontinence and overactive bladder include medications, nerve stimulation, behavioral therapies, Kegel exercises, herbal and natural supplements, continence products and devices, and surgery. Overall, the good news is that the estimated success rate of treatment with a combination of medications and behavioral therapies is about 80 percent for urinary incontinence and overactive bladder.
