Urine drips without knowing at night.

10–20% of men over 75 years of age have urinary incontinence.After the age of 65, stress incontinence decreases, while urgency and mixed urinary incontinence. In men, incontinence can take various forms. If you have the commonest form, you have to rush to the toilet (urgency), and perhaps leak on the way (urgency incontinence). This is often worse in cold weather or if you hear the sound of running water. You may notice some dribbling after you have passed urine. These problems are most common in older men. They are often partly related to a blockage at the outlet of the bladder, caused by enlargement of the prostate gland – a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Some men have had bladder problems all their lives, such as bedwetting, urgency, urgency incontinence or having to pass urine frequently. Difficulty in holding urine sometimes results from a previous prostate operation, especially if you leak urine with a cough or sneeze, during exercise or standing (stress incontinence). This is common straight after the operation, but often improves within weeks. It can also occur in men who have not had a prostate operation, particularly in older men, but this is uncommon. What you can do Try to figure out if your prostate is enlarged. If you can answer yes to any of the following questions, it is quite likely that you have an enlarged prostate. Do you have difficulty in starting to pass urine? Do you think it takes you too long to pass urine? Do you pass urine in stops and starts? Do you dribble urine without full control when you have tried to stop? Do you have a sensation of not having emptied your bladder completely? Do you have to get up more than twice a night to pass urine, but only pass small amounts? If the answer to the above is yes kindly see a competent urologist with experience at the earliest.
