Urinary Incontinence... Does it affect you? The accidental loss of urine and/or leaking can leave you feeling alone, insecure and utterly uncomfortable. Incontinence seems to be a common occurrence for men after prostate cancer treatment. But did you know incontinence can happen after being treated for other types of cancer as well?

In most cases incontinence will only last a short time. Sometimes it can however, be a long-term side effect from cancer treatment. There are many ways to help, but be sure to consult with your doctor if you are experiencing incontinence.
