He does not relish the idea of an artificial sphincter, but that is the only option his urologist has offered. My husband has, primarily, stress
incontinence. He urinates many times a day
and usually a couple of times during the night. He seldom--if ever--has the problem of feeling an urgent need to get to the bathroom. His urologist prescribed VESIcare, but it did not seem to help. He is having a great deal of irritation, redness, and sometimes a rash on the scrotum from leakage.
