Male urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, and it can range from leakage with coughing, sneezing, or lifting to a constant inability to control urination. Many men experience this condition after prostate surgery or trauma, and although medications or conservative therapies may help temporarily, persistent symptoms often require advanced evaluation and specialized treatment.
Incontinence can be frustrating, isolating, and emotionally draining. It affects daily routines, relationships, and overall confidence, which is why seeking expert care is an important step toward lasting improvement. At The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction, we provide advanced surgical and reconstructive solutions that help men regain control, independence, and quality of life when other options have not worked.
Male Urinary Incontinence
What Is Male Urinary Incontinence?
Common Symptoms of Male Urinary Incontinence
Men with urinary incontinence may experience:
- Urine leakage during coughing, sneezing, or exercising
- Inability to fully control urination
- Frequent trips to the bathroom or urgency
- Dribbling after urination
- Wearing pads, shields, or protective garments daily
- Avoiding social events or activities due to fear of accidents
Early evaluation can help identify the right solution and prevent long-term complications.
Causes and Risk Factors
Male urinary incontinence can be caused by:
- Prostate surgery, such as radical prostatectomy
- Pelvic or urethral trauma
- Nerve injury affecting bladder control
- Age-related muscle or sphincter weakness
- Radiation or prior pelvic surgery
Many men come to us after trying conservative measures without success. Our team specializes in complex cases and advanced reconstructive options.
Advanced Treatments for Male Urinary Incontinence
Many patients find us after years of frustration with less effective options. Our surgeons provide advanced reconstructive procedures not widely available elsewhere.
Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) Placement
Considered the gold standard for severe incontinence, the AUS uses a small implantable device to mimic natural sphincter function, giving men reliable urinary control.
Bladder Neck Reconstruction
In cases where scar tissue or surgery has affected the bladder outlet, this procedure restores urinary control by rebuilding the bladder neck.
Robotic-Assisted Lower Urinary Tract Reconstruction
For complex urinary tract injuries or defects, minimally invasive robotic surgery allows precise reconstruction with faster recovery.
Each treatment plan is individualized. Our specialists will carefully evaluate your condition and recommend the most effective solution for restoring your quality of life.
Are You a Candidate?
You may be a candidate for advanced treatment if you:
- Experience daily urinary leakage despite conservative therapy
- Have incontinence following prostate surgery or trauma
- Rely on pads or protective garments to manage symptoms
- Have tried other treatments without success
Our specialists evaluate even the most complex cases to find a path forward. Schedule a consultation to explore your options.

Frequently Asked Questions About Male Urinary Incontinence
Is urinary incontinence normal after prostate surgery?
Some leakage is common in the months following surgery, but persistent, severe symptoms may require advanced treatment.
What is recovery like after AUS placement?
Most patients return home the same day or the next day, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks. The device is activated after healing, providing long-term control.
Will insurance cover my surgery?
Many reconstructive procedures, including AUS placement, are covered by insurance. Visit our insurance information page for more information, or contact our financial coordinators to confirm your coverage.
