Urinary incontinence is a rather embarrassing condition for men to have. But this can be a sign of underlying conditions that may require serious medical attention.
Most healthcare practitioners will try other treatments before recommending surgery. This becomes a viable option when the following signs are observed:
- Incontinence is chronic or severe.
- Blood is now mixed in the urine.
- The signs of chronic UTI are appearing.
- A blockage has been discovered that needs to be removed.
A variety of surgical procedures are available to treat different forms of urinary incontinence. For those with stress continence, sphincter weakness, or have had pelvic surgery or radical prostatectomy, sling procedures are a great option. It involves either taking tissue from other parts of the body or using synthetic material to create a sling around the urethra and the bladder neck. This makes closing the urethra by applying pressure easier.
An enlarged prostate may require the implantation of an artificial sphincter. This sphincter can be deflated using a button in order to release urine.
An enlarged prostate may also call for a special procedure to safely shrink it to normal size. We have all the tools and expertise needed to provide these procedures for you.
