CKS is no longer commissioned by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). NICE remains committed to providing a replacement service for CKS and is currently reviewing its options. In the meantime, although CKS content is now not being maintained, it still remains relevant and will continue to be made available. CKS content was generated under a programme of topic creation and update.

Lower urinary tract symptoms in men, age-related (including symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia/hypertrophy) - Management
What advice should I provide about self-help resources?
- Advise the man that:
- NHS Choices provides online information for people with urinary incontinence.
- The Bladder and Bowel Foundation has a helpline (telephone 01536 533 255), and provides a range of resources on their website www.bladderandbowelfoundation.org. Information on pelvic floor muscle training is included in their booklet on stress urinary incontinence, which can be ordered from their online shop or downloaded for printing (pdf).
- No drug is effective for stress incontinence in men. Some information leaflets cite the use of duloxetine for stress incontinence; however, this is for women only.
