10 Causes of Incontinence

7. Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer can also set off the symptom of urinary incontinence, either through urination induced by stress, whether associated to cancer or caused by other conditions, or from urination that occurs due to the constant urge. In fact, urinary incontinence is one of the main and most obvious symptoms of prostate cancer. However, once a patient has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, some of the treatments and medications may also promote urinary incontinence. This symptom may also appear in men with enlarged prostates. This is why it is imperative for men, especially those over 40, to have regular prostate examinations.
