Abstract

Urinary incontinence is a hidden problem that affects 14 million adults in the UK. It affects around 30% of men aged 65 and over and can have a huge effect on quality of life. Often this distressing symptom can be treated effectively. It is important to manage incontinence while the man is undergoing investigations and treatment or when treatment is not possible. This article examines the role of urinary sheaths in the management of incontinence and provides links to further information.
