Causes of Male Urinary Incontinence

Urinary incontinence in males, causes urine to leak accidentally. Male urinary incontinence can be temporary or permanent depending on the reasons for the incontinence. One type of urinary incontinence is stress-related. This normally happens with sneezing, coughing or laughing. Urge incontinence is when there is an urge to urinate, but the urine escapes before you can reach to the restroom. Overflow incontinence happens when the bladder was not completely emptied at the time of urination and the urine continuously dribbles afterward.

Enlarged Prostate

• As a man's prostate becomes enlarged, it squeezes the urethra, obstructing the flow of the urine. This can cause an urge to urinate frequently along with incontinence.

Urinary Tract Infection

• When a urinary tract infection is developed, it causes frequent urination and incontinence.

Neurological Disorders

• Some types of neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, spinal injury or a brain tumor can result in loss of bladder control.

Aging

• As the body age, so does the bladder, causing the muscles of the bladder to become weakened. When the bladder contracts or relaxes suddenly, this results in incontinence.

Bladder Stones

• Bladder stones normally obstruct the flow of the urine, resulting in incontinence.
