Some treatments for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) can also cause incontinence. But this isn't common. The bladder contractions that cause urge incontinence can be caused by many conditions, including: Urinary tract infection. Bowel problems, such as constipation. Prostatitis. This is a painful infection of the prostate gland.
A somatic mutation is a genetic mutation which occurs in a somatic cell after conception. These mutations can lead to a variety of medical issues, and lay people commonly associate them specifically with cancers.f a somatic mutation occurs in utero, all of the cells descended from the somatic cell will carry the mutation. This results in a situation called genetic mosaicism, in which some of the cells in someone's body have DNA which is different from other cells.
1 Mutations that occur in the somatic cells may disrupt the function of that particular cell, causing it to die, or causing it to become cancerous (highly proliferative and nasty!). 2  The cell has biological repair mechanisms which can restore the original configuration of DNA after mutation. Mutations affecting the germ (spermatogonial or oogonial) cells are the only mutations with evolutionary consequences. 2  Mutations that occur in the somatic cells may disrupt the function of that particular cell, causing it to die, or causing it to become cancerous (highly proliferative and nasty!).
