[[Overactive bladder|Urge incontinence]] is the most common type of incontinence in men.<ref name="Clemens_2022">{{Cite web | vauthors = Clemens JQ | date = 3 January 2022 | veditors = O'Leary MP, Law K |title=Urinary Incontinence in Men|url=https://www.uptodate.com/contents/urinary-incontinence-in-men|work = UptoDate|access-date=8 May 2020}}</ref> Similar to women, urine leakage happens following a very intense feeling of urination, not allowing enough time to reach the bathroom, a condition called [[Overactive bladder|overactive bladder syndrome]]. In men, the condition is commonly associated with [[benign prostatic hyperplasia]] (an enlarged prostate), which causes [[bladder outlet obstruction]], a dysfunction of the [[detrusor muscle]] (muscle of the [[Urinary bladder|bladder]]), eventually causing [[Overactive bladder|overactive bladder syndrome]], and the associated incontinence.<ref name="Clemens_2022" />

[[Stress incontinence|Stress urinary incontinence]] is the other common type of incontinence in men, and it most commonly happens after prostate surgery.<ref name="Wang">{{cite journal | vauthors = Wang W, Huang QM, Liu FP, Mao QQ | title = Effectiveness of preoperative pelvic floor muscle training for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy: a meta-analysis | journal = BMC Urology | volume = 14 | issue = 1 | pages = 99 | date = December 2014 | pmid = 25515968 | pmc = 4274700 | doi = 10.1186/1471-2490-14-99 | doi-access = free }}</ref> [[Prostatectomy]], [[transurethral resection of the prostate]], [[prostate brachytherapy]], and [[Radiation therapy|radiotherapy]] can all damage the [[Urethral sphincters|urethral sphincter]] and surrounding tissue, causing it to be incompetent. An incompetent urethral sphincter cannot prevent urine from leaking out of the urinary bladder during activities that increase the intraabdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, or laughing. Continence usually improves within 6 to 12 months after prostate surgery without any specific interventions, and only 5 to 10% of people report persistent symptoms.<ref name="Clemens_2022" />
