title: Effective management in male urinary incontinence.
abstract: Effective assessment is key to the effective management of male urinary incontinence. Identification of the specific type of incontinence being experienced by the patient will inform the treatment plan, and the holistic needs of the patient need to be considered before making a decision in this regard. This article describes the different types of male lower urinary tract symptoms and gives recommendations for managing and treating each specific type. It will also consider potential issues surrounding treatment of male urinary incontinence, such as communication issues from the perspective of the health-care professional and the patient themselves, before giving containment strategies and methods.
