Leaky Hose? Don't Call a Plumber--Call a Urologist TODAY! Dr. Mistry Explains Why Men Should Never Ignore Urinary Leakage

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee explain why urinary leakage in men is an issue that should be addressed by a urologist--not ignored or tolerated! While urinary leakage is very common (if irritating) in women, it is generally more concerning in men. Leakage can be anything from post-void dribbling, or small urine leakage after you've used the restroom and put back on your clothing. There is also urge incontinence, which happens when you can't get to the bathroom quickly enough. Urge incontinence can lead to full-scale bed-wetting and embarrassing accidents that can quickly cause rashes and infections. Male incontience is often caused by an enlarged prostate, some kind of blockage, or even pelvic floor issues--all of which can usually be resolved with non-surgical interventions, including pelvic floor physical therapy. At NAU Urology Specialists, our pelvic floor physical therapists are very experienced in treating male patients (as well as female ones). Another cause of male urinary incontinence is complications from prostate surgery/removal. Because this surgery often damages your urinary sphincter, leakage can occur. Our providers are well-trained in the surgical repair of this issue with either an artificial urinary sphincter or a mid-urethral sling, both of which have high success rates and are usually covered by insurance. If you or a loved on are struggling with urinary incontinence--no matter how severe--please call us today to learn more about the many options we have, both surgical and non-surgical, for treating this issue!
