Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Geriatrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Urinary incontinence (UI) prevalence in men aged 15-64 is over 1 in 33.
  • UI prevalence in men aged 65+ is estimated between 1 in 10 and 1 in 14.
  • Faecal incontinence (FI) affects 1% of adults living at home, with 17% of the very elderly reporting symptoms.

Observation:

  • Many men experience significant embarrassment and delay seeking help for bladder or bowel problems.
  • Continence issues can be successfully treated with assessment and management.
  • Containment products are recommended when continence cannot be achieved.

Findings:

  • High prevalence rates of UI and FI, particularly in older male populations.
  • Delayed help-seeking behavior due to embarrassment is a significant barrier.
  • Effective management strategies exist, including treatment and containment products.

Implications:

  • Need for increased awareness and reduced stigma surrounding male incontinence.
  • Importance of timely assessment and appropriate management for improved quality of life.
  • Potential for wider adoption of containment products to manage persistent incontinence.
