Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control, leading to the unintentional release of urine. It can range from occasional leaks when coughing or sneezing to a more serious, frequent loss of control. Common causes include weakened pelvic floor muscles after prostate surgery, nerve damage, or an overactive bladder. There are different types of incontinence, including stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and overflow incontinence.

Symptoms include accidental leakage of urine, frequent need to urinate, urgency, or waking up multiple times at night to urinate. Some men may experience incontinence after prostate surgery, pelvic injury, or nerve damage.

Urinary incontinence can affect men of all ages, though it is more common in older men. It is particularly prevalent in those who have had prostate surgery or are dealing with pelvic floor weakness, obesity, or certain neurological conditions.

At Pro-State Physiotherapy, we specialise in pelvic floor rehabilitation to treat urinary incontinence. Our approach involves strengthening the pelvic muscles through targeted exercises and improving bladder control. We also educate clients on behavioural techniques, hydration management, and lifestyle adjustments to help manage and reduce symptoms.
