We always used to blame the prostate for all urination problems and now we realize that men like woman have overactive bladder. Sometimes men may have the overactive bladder symptoms as a result of prostate obstruction or they may simply have overactive bladder symptoms because they have like women, an overactive bladder and it is very important to be seen by a specialist or a general doctor before beginning therapy. Men develop incontinence often from prostate-related procedures and they get the same type of leakage that women get through cough, laugh, sneeze but usually men with no neurological don't usually develop leakage with cough, laugh, sneeze. What they do develop and it is often related to the prostate is urge incontinence on the way to the toilet.
