The results of a study by American scientists indicate that drinking coffee by men can lead to such an unpleasant disease as urinary incontinence or, as it is also called, enuresis.. Two cups of coffee a day may very well do this unpleasant.

Research has shown that it is caffeine, which in this case is an irritant to the bladder, which further exacerbates the problem of urinary incontinence.. The study found that those people who simply drink water are not subject to this problem.. It turns out that the matter is not in the amount drunk, but in what drink was drunk.

The research results were published in The Journal of Urology. Previously, scientists have already compared the facts of the occurrence of enuresis in women with the use of coffee.. But a previous study found no link between caffeine and urinary incontinence in men..

A new study in this area was a survey of 4,000 men with the problem.. Scientists studied the number of occurrence of enuresis in men, and then interviewed them in order to find out what exactly men drank, just water or coffee..

The results showed that, on average, men consumed 169 milligrams of caffeine per day, while one cup of coffee contains 125 milligrams..

13 percent were found to have various forms of urinary incontinence, of which 4.5 percent were characterized as moderate to severe. Scientists took into account many risk factors, including the age of men. Ultimately, the study found that 234 milligrams of caffeine per day increased the risk of urinary incontinence in men by 72 percent.. And if you consumed 392 milligrams of coffee, then the risk of severe enuresis doubled..

In the event that men just drank water, nothing like this was observed..
