Stress urinary incontinence in men

J R Woodside

    The Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1982

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men without prior surgery is rare. Urodynamic evaluation revealed urethral smooth muscle dysfunction due to neurologic lesions affecting adrenergic innervation, indicating a need for thorough neurological assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is uncommon in men without a history of pelvic or urologic surgery.
    • Investigating the underlying causes of SUI in this patient population is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • Seven men with SUI and no prior relevant surgery underwent urodynamic evaluation.
    • All patients exhibited urethral smooth muscle dysfunction, characterized by reduced urethral pressure and contrast material in the proximal urethra.

    Findings:

    • Neurologic lesions involving spinal roots L1 and/or L2 were identified in most patients, impairing adrenergic innervation of the proximal urethra.
    • Two patients had specific causes: one with prostate cancer metastasis causing cauda equina compression post-prostatectomy, and another with choriocarcinoma affecting the pelvic plexus.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest that SUI in men without prior surgery can stem from neurologic deficits affecting urethral function.
    • A comprehensive neurologic evaluation is recommended for men presenting with SUI, especially when no surgical history explains the condition.
