While often thought of as a woman’s issue, research at Birmingham VA Medical Center and University of Alabama showed that as many as 16% of older men have urinary incontinence symptoms. Lead researcher Dr. Alayne D. Markland said “it’s a common problem,” that is often thought of as “just part of aging,” Dr. Markland noted that factors such as prostate enlargement, high blood pressure and depression appear related to male urinary incontinence and advised that men discuss treatment options with their doctor. Effective treatments may include Kegel exercises, lifestyle adjustments and medical interventions. Please click below to see a report from Medline.
