Urinary Tract Infections (uti) Can Be The Reason Some Men Suffer From Urinary Incontinence

Urinary tract infections in men can be the bottom line reason

behind urinary incontinence in men. Urinary incontinence is

the inability to manage or control urine voiding or the

passing of urine. There are several known reasons for urinary

incontinence in men such as an enlarged prostate gland or a

faulty nerve signal that is suppose to notify the bladder to

empty itself of all content or urine, and of course a

dysfunctional bladder that is misbehaving.

There are a number of ways men can contract a urinary tract

infection (UTI) and in many cases be none the wiser about it.

Urinary tract infection is caused by bacteria; bacteria that

has entered the body through some opening or cavity and has

settle in the urinary tract. The urinary tract consist of the

kidneys, ureter tubes (2), and bladder that makes up the

upper tact, and the bladder neck and the urethra makes up the

lower tact. The urethra runs from the lower section of the

bladder through the prostate gland and continues through the

male organ where it dispels all urine. However when the

urinary tract becomes infected it will in most cases disrupt

the ordinarily smooth process of the body removing urine from

itself.

Urinary tract infections occur when bacteria, in particular

Escherichia or E coli enters the urinary tract. Bacteria

oftentimes enter the urinary tract through the urethra that

runs from the bladder through the prostate gland and

continues on through the male organ as mention above. Sexual

intercourse, internal catheters, genetics, diabetes and

cystitis or bladder infection are some of the known ways men can contract a

urinary tract infection.Once the bacteria is inside of

the body it can settle or make its home wherever it chooses;

if it decides to settle in the urinary tract then it becomes

a urinary tract infection. In many cases of urinary tract

infection the bacteria will settle somewhere around the neck

of the bladder or what is known as the lower urinary tract

(LUT), however it might choose to travel up the urinary tract

to the bladder where it will infect the bladder (cystitis).

It can continue up stream by traveling from the bladder

through the ureter tubes and finally resting inside the

kidneys.

The kidneys can become infected with the bacteria and this

could lead to very complicated problems if not treated

immediately. Kidney infections can lead to such dangerous

consequences as kidney failure. A urinary tract infection

left to propagate within the kidneys can severely damage the

kidneys to the point that dialysis or a kidney transplant are

the only alternatives. That is why it is imperative that men

who are experiencing some sort of problem with voiding or

passing urine should consult their doctor right away!

In many cases where the patient has sought help early doctors can

in most cases prescribe some type of antibiotics to kill the

infection. After speaking with the patient and running a few

test most physicians can determine what antibiotic would be

most appropriate to best fight the infection. When a urinary

tract infection is left untreated it can cause a whole lot of

damage that could have been prevented if the patient had

sought medical help early on. That is the number one reason

why men who are experiencing some type of problem voiding

and/or voiding more than normal should consult with their

primary care giver as quickly as possible. When it comes to

treating and managing urinary incontinence time is of the

essence. Getting to your doctor in a timely manner can make

the difference between possibly being cured and the

possibility of losing your kidneys...it is just that serious.

When a urinary tract infection is left untreated it can

infect the urethra that carries the urine from the bladder

through the male organ and out the body. An infected urethra

will not; cannot, function at optimum level; nor should it be

expected to. Bacteria left uncontested can be the underlining

cause why urine passing becomes severely restricted. The urethra is a passage

way that allows urine to pass through it unobstructed when it is unencumbered

by bacteria such as Escherichia or e-coli, but when the urethra has

become infected by deadly bacteria such as the e coli strain;

allowing urine to pass can reach the point of impossibility

and the resulting dilemma can only be corrected through

invasive surgery.

When urinary tract infections enter the bladder it is known

as cystitis, the bladder becomes inflamed and diseased. This

too can lead to urinary incontinence in men as well as an

infected urethra. When the bladder becomes infected it can

lose its ability to receive nerve signals that tell it when

it is suppose to relieve itself of its content or urine. When

infected the detrusor muscles inside of the bladder or

bladder walls can begin acting erratic and violently

squeezing to force the urine out of the bladder when it

hasn't received any nerve signals from the brain at all.

When that happens it can force the person to rush quickly to

the bathroom to urinate; in most cases he'll never make it. This particular scenario

is played out time and time again in the lives of men who suffer from urinary

incontinence. This is a classical case of urge or urgency incontinence in men. A

simple urinary tract infection left untreated can certainly lead to episodes like

this. This is why many physicians as well as urologist can

sometimes become so angry when they see situations where if

the patient had only come in for early treatments things

could have turned out so differently---so much better.

In conclusion, urinary tract infections are treatable

conditions that can and should be treated as quickly as

possible. It is believed that less than thirty percent of men

who suffer with some type of urinary incontinence seek

medical help in the early stages of urinary tract infection.

That means about seventy percent of men who suffer with

urinary incontinence are receiving no treatment whatsoever!

And that's a shame because in all but a very few cases,

urinary tract infections will continue to spread and do

damage within the urinary tract.

A urinary tract infection can lead to death if left untreated

or if it is not treated in a timely manner. When the kidneys become

severely infected to the point they are no longer

useful---you have waited too long. Dialysis treatments will

keep you alive for a while and then that's it. A kidney

transplant might be possible if you can find a donor---if your

body won't reject the new kidney. My friend, don't allow a very small

problem that's treatable turn into a life and death struggle.

Don't do it. Be smart and seek medical help while you still can.
