Having been diagnosed with prostate gland enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH), I have developed urge incontinence. Because of side effects to meds, I now find myself using diapers 24/7. I have heard that BPH will cause a person to go more often but not to the point of incontinence. I don't know if its me or does this usually happen. If this happens, what is the percent of men progressing to this point? Is it 1 in 10 or 1 in 1000? I'm 60 years old and its taken about two years for me. Any info will be a help.
