Incontinence – One of the More Embarrassing Male Organ Problems
by John Dugan OwnerAn issue in bed – that’s one of the first things that comes to
mind when a guy think of male organ problems (and with good reason – that is a
big male organ problem). But the range of male organ health issues extends far
beyond concerns about tumescences or seed release. One of the male organ
problems guys especially want to sweep under the rug is that of urinary
incontinence. It can be embarrassing, but it pays to know something about this
issue in case it becomes a factor in one’s own life.
Urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence refers
to a situation in which a person (male or female) urinates involuntarily.
Although technically one lone instance of involuntarily urinating is considered
incontinence, most of the time when it is discussed it is in a chronic form, in
which it is an ongoing or continuing issue to dealt with. Among men, urinary
incontinence is more common at the ends of the age spectrum – among young boys
or older men. However, it is interesting to note that as many as 15% of men
between 15 and 64 experience some form of chronic incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is
generally classified in one of three categories:
- Stress. When
a man has stress incontinence, this generally means that urine leaks out
because of stress being placed on the bladder. It is more likely to happen when
the bladder is full or near full, but can happen even when there is not a
significant amount of urine in the bladder. An example of stress incontinence
would be a man lifting a heavy object in such a way that some urine leaks out.
(It may be only a small amount or it may be much more.) Another common
occurrence of stress incontinence may occur when a man is coughing heavily.
- Urge. Urge
incontinence is different and is perhaps occurs more frequently than stress
incontinence. As the name implies, if a man experiences urge incontinence, he
is fully aware that he has reached a time when he needs to urinate but cannot
reach a bathroom before the urine starts flowing. Sometimes the time between
becoming aware of the need to urinate and the time
that the urination begins can be fairly short. When most people think of
incontinence, they focus on urge incontinence.
- Overflow. Think
of this as simply having too full a bladder – the organ has reached its capacity
and has to release urine in order to accommodate more liquid. Overflow urine is
often associated with situations in which a great deal of liquid (often
alcoholic) is imbibed at once.
Why does it occur?
Incontinence can happen for
numerous reasons, including simply drinking too much. But some common causes
include:
- Urinary tract
infection. In some instances, an infection may impact a man’s ability
to control his urine flow.
- Weak muscles. The
muscles which are in charge of shutting on and off the flow of urine may not be
strong enough to properly do their job.
- Nerve issues. Some
illnesses, especially diabetes and Parkinson’s disease, create nerve damage
situations which prevent the nerves and muscles from coordinating properly,
allowing for unwanted urination.
- Alcohol
consumption. Drinking too heavily during can cause overflow
incontinence, but it may also help to weaken muscles or damage nerves.
- Stress. As
with so many things in life, high stress situations can create incontinence
problems, especially if the stress is chronic and maintained for lengthy
periods of time.
Men who experience
incontinence should check with a doctor to determine the probable cause and
determine a course of action to address the situation.
Urinary incontinence and
other male organ problems remind a man of the importance of attending to male
organ health and of daily applying a top drawer male organ health oil (health
professionals recommend Man 1 Man
Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin). Look for an
oil with L-carnitine, an amino acid which can help to maintain delicate manhood
sensation which may be affected by nerve issues. The oil should also include
vitamin B5, or pantothenic acid, a vital nutrient that is required for cell
metabolism and the maintenance of healthy tissue.
