    There are many causes of incontinence in men, but prostatitis and urethritis are the most common ones:

    1. Incontinence of urine can be seen in prostatitis. Mild symptoms of prostatitis hyperplasia have the following reactions:

    Frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, thin bifurcated urine lines, frequent nocturia, weak urination, difficulty urinating, fever, backache and abdominal pain, penis pain, discomfort or swelling in the testicles, perineum, and anus, moist and odorous scrotum, loss or disappearance of sexual desire, premature ejaculation, impotence or pain during ejaculation, headache, fatigue, vertigo, tinnitus, insomnia, etc. If prostatitis is not cured for a long time, it can cause persistent or recurring genitourinary system infections.

    3. Inability to urinate may also be urethritis. Urethritis can be caused by Candida albicans, Bacillus, chlamydia, mycoplasma, gonorrhoeae, or other pathogens and manifests as
