Promoting male urinary continence.

Urinary incontinence is a common problem among men of all ages, and can have a major impact on quality of life. Although incontinence rates in men could be as high as 24%, there is far less published information about male than female continence problems. Nurses have an important role to play in promoting continence by working with patients to identify appropriate incontinence management options. Incontinence can often be treated by non-invasive or minimally invasive means. Incontinence management should be considered before containment. However, nurses do need knowledge about management options to be able to support and advise patients. This article discusses a range of non-invasive and minimally invasive incontinence options. Although catheterisation should not be the first choice for most patients, it is discussed as it may be the most suitable option for some, particularly men with neurogenic bladders.
