Incontinence: Male and Female

Urinary incontinence affects males and female (and children) and an overactive bladder is more common in older people, especially women.

If your incontinence is affecting your quality of life, it's best to speak to your doctor. Bay Urology will guide you through our treatment process.

Male Incontinence

Incontinence in men is nearly always secondary to previous surgical treatments (eg. post-prostatectomy) or trauma. As such, treatments may be covered by ACC under the Treatment Injury Legislation.

André has a special interest in the workup and treatment of male urinary incontinence. He has experience in the full range of procedures available, including the artificial urinary sphincter, the AdVance sling and the ATOMS sling.
