Is this the same for humans too?

Pat thank you for this! I belong to another group and I tried to tell them
this but only one person agreed and wanted to listen, the rest, well the
disagreed very strongly. I went through this with my girls and I must confess
after my hysterectomy I needed hormonal replacement because of my adrenal
insufficiency. One of my males had Cushing's disease in the early stages and
after he was neutered it went full blown because his adrenal glands weren't
healthy enough to produce testosterone.

Spay Incontinence
After a female dog is spayed, their level of the female hormone, estrogen,
is significantly lower. Estrogen plays a part in constricting the sphincter
muscles dogs use to urinate. The lack of estrogen means a lack of that tone
needed to control her sphincter. The adrenal glands also produce estrogen,
albeit in small amounts. This is usually enough to keep the sphincter muscles
working properly, but in about 20% of cases, this isn't so. Male dogs also
suffer this (with the lack of testosterone) however it's not generally as much
of a problem as it is with female dogs.

Incontinence in any warm blooded mammal, human or otherwise, is
usually attributed to kidney functions being blocked or damaged in
some way.
