*Urinary incontinence in males is gaining increasingly more attention. *Male urinary incontinence can be classified as storage incontinence due to overactive bladder syndrome or stress incontinence due to urethral sphincter dysfunction. *Most patients benefit from the currently available treatment options for overactive bladder, which include physiotherapy, medication, botulinum A toxin injections and neuromodulation techniques. *The number of radical prostatectomies performed for prostate cancer is increasing; this intervention can lead to stress incontinence due to sphincter weakness. *Various treatment options are available for stress incontinence due to sphincter weakness. *In addition to physiotherapy, treatment options also include the artificial urinary sphincter, which has been available for decades. *New treatments include para-urethral balloons and male slings. The value of these approaches must be proven in the coming years.
