I'm 32 years old and male. Lately I've begun to have some bladder issues.

I've noticed in the last few weeks that there are times where I can't hold in my urine and it wants to come out.

I've wet my pants a few times before I could make it to the bathroom?

Am I becoming incontinent and should I see a doctor about it?

I didn't think I'd get incontinent this early?

You might have an overactive bladder. Or urge incontinence.

Overactive bladder happens mostly in women but can also occur in men. Aging, an enlarged prostate, and diabetes are all risk factors.

The urge to urinate may be difficult to control and lead to the involuntary loss of urine (incontinence). It may be embarrassing or limit activity.

Treatments such as pelvic floor muscle exercises, medications, and nerve stimulation can reduce or eliminate symptoms.

Incontinence can come on at any age.

Yes it's entirely possible to become incontinent at your age or at any age.

Bladder problems don't just affect old people.

I'd recommend talking to your doctor about some meds that you could take to help with your incontinence and bladder issues.
