Despite how common these problems are, many men delay seeking help. Some feel embarrassed about discussing it, while others assume it’s simply a normal part of getting older. The reality is that while bladder issues do become more common with age, bladder leaks are not something you have to just accept and live with. That’s why Unichem Manly Pharmacy has launched our new Blokes Clinic.
Led by pharmacist intern Ethan, who has a strong interest in men’s health, the clinic provides a confidential, one-on-one appointment where you can discuss your symptoms in a comfortable and judgement free environment. The aim is simple: to help you understand what may be contributing to your bladder problems, provide guidance on bladder control products and lifestyle measures that may help, and connect you with your GP or other healthcare professionals for further assessment and treatment if needed. We’ll put you back in control.
What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine. It can range from the occasional drip or leak to a sudden loss of bladder control. Signs include waking several times during the night to urinate, frequent trips to the toilet, dribbling after urination, and more. While it can be frustrating and sometimes embarrassing, it’s important to remember that incontinence is not a disease itself. Rather, it is usually a symptom of an underlying issue involving the bladder, prostate, nerves, medications, or other health conditions. The sooner you seek advice, the sooner you can start finding solutions that work for you. Seeking help early often leads to better health outcomes and can prevent symptoms from becoming more troublesome over time.
How can the Blokes Clinic help?
At our Blokes Clinic, Ethan will carry out an assessment and discuss first-line management options tailored to your situation. This may include advice on everyday protection products, practical lifestyle changes and bladder health guidance. Where further investigation or medical treatment may be needed, we can guide you on the next steps and refer you to your GP or other appropriate healthcare providers.
You don’t have to put up with bladder control problems, and you certainly don’t have to face them alone.
