Bladder (or urinary) incontinence is the unintentional loss of urine. It is a serious problem that men are reluctant to discuss with others. When the muscle (sphincter) that holds the bladder neck closed is not strong enough to retain urine in the bladder, the result is urinary incontinence.

Dr. Bruning killed it! I came to SU being referred by a family friend who had the vasectomy procedure done by Dr. B Being it was life threatening for my wife to have another child I made the decision to get the "snip" being that she had gone through so much I was beyond happy with the staff the wait times the appointments the evaluation was quick. The procedure took all of an hour and 15 mins He's such a personable guy. Very professional inviting and all around just a great guy. Thank you SU for keeping my ole lady safe.
