Possible causes of incontinence in men

 

Although women are more often affected by incontinence, many men, particularly in advanced age, also experience issues with bladder control. The reason for this may be, for example, prostate enlargement, which starts to develop in men from the age of 50 and can lead to overflow incontinence (incontinence with chronic urinary retention).

Age-related dysfunction of the bladder can also lead to urinary incontinence. Young men are therefore very rarely affected by this. When incontinence develops in this age group, it is often preceded by inflammation of the prostate or nerve disorders. 




 

Overflow incontinence is the most common type of incontinence in men

 

 

In principle, overflow incontinence is the most common type of incontinence in men.

It can be compared to a constant trickling from the bladder. Physical changes in the body such as nerve damage, prostate enlargement or obesity may be the causes.

In any case, good medical advice is important to be able to make the most of the available support products for incontinence.

This includes modern items such as pads, liners and disposable pants that are adapted to the male anatomy. These items are discreet, skin friendly, odour neutralising and comfortable to wear, offering you the security that you want when affected by bladder weakness.

Different preferences require different products

 

To continue to lead an active and independent life, you need absorbent and reliable aids that are tailored to your needs as a man.

This is because for men the urine has a different exit point from the body depending on the position of the penis in the underwear. Studies identified six different preferred positions for the penis: top right, middle and left as well as bottom right, middle and left. (Source details: Ipsos, May 2016. N=2000 men). In Germany 59% of incontinent men over the age of 50 years place their penis in one of three positions pointing downwards (source details: Ipsos, May 2016. N=2000 men). This position is, however, changed over the course of the night by about one-third of the men surveyed.

Incontinence products for all needs and greater freedom

It is important with bladder weakness that the products rapidly absorb liquid at the necessary point. To cover the wide range of preferred positions, MoliCare® offers incontinence products that were specifically developed to meet the needs of men.

Special incontinence liners in the form of a pocket and incontinence pads in the form of a triangle have an extra absorbent core and rapidly channel the liquid to the inside of the liner. Perfect all-round protection and security are provided by disposable pants in an inconspicuous grey colour that you wear like normal underwear and dispose of easily after use. Disposable pants are the ideal protection for everyday, discreet use thanks to a low waist band and reinforced protection at the front where the penis sits.

And if you place your penis pointing upwards in your underwear, then the V shape of the product enables you to place the pad in your underwear with the wide end at the top to ensure reliable protection. This means the pad is inconspicuous for everyday use and you can place your penis in your preferred position.


MoliCare® Premium MEN PANTS.


If you experience moderate urine loss, to go through your day with a dry and secure feeling we recommend MoliCare® Premium MEN PANTS. The absorbent core in these disposable pants is located further forward from where the penis sits to offer reliable protection against leaks. They are worn instead of normal underwear and provide reliable protection without being visible under clothing and are available in two absorbency levels.
