Bonus Episode: When The Floodgates Open: What You Should Know About Potentially Deadly "Overflow Incontinence"

In this segment, Dr. Mistry answers a listener question about BPH and prostate issues. The listener explains that his low bladder capacity and frequent urinary urgency contribute to an "overflow" of leaking urine. Dr. Mistry differentiates between obstructive urinary symptoms, such as slow flow and incomplete emptying, and a "low capacity" bladder, which can be treated by stretching the bladder with medication. A different and potentially life-threatening issue is the patient who has a normal-sized bladder, but who is only able to empty a few ounces of it at a time. This situation may lead to "overflow incontinence,"  a condition so dangerous that it can cause kidney failure. Regardless of the cause, serious leakage should be treated aggressively. Treatment can not only alleviate symptoms but also drastically improve the quality of life those affected by leakage have. If you or a loved one are experiencing any of the above symptoms or are concerned about your amount of urinary leakage, please give us a call today!Voted top Men's Health Podcast, Sex Therapy Podcast, and Prostate Cancer Podcast by FeedSpotDr. Mistry is a board-certified urologist and has been treating patients in the Austin and Greater Williamson County area since he started his private practice in 2007.We enjoy hearing from you!
