Hi All. I'm a newbie to the community. I'm 71 years old and had an RP last November following an unsuspected diagnosis. My last PSA was less than 0.01 so the surgery seems to be a success, for which I will be eternally grateful. However, some 4 months down the line I remain TOTALLY incontinent and am beginning to despair of the future. My physio has referred me back to the consultant and I have a telephone appointment with him next week which I'm a bit apprehensive about. In my first review meeting he came across as arrogant and dogmatic. I will be seeking guidance as to medium term treatment when when the "surgery" has healed and additional coping measures until that becomes available. I am routinely undertaking pelvic floor exercises, wearing a combination of pads and occasionally a Pacey Cuff.
Can anyone suggest other practices which I can raise with the consultant? I tried drinking only water for 3 days without success. I will discuss an external catheter, although last time he told me in no uncertain manner that he does not recommend their use since "patients don't do their pelvic floor exercises".
When fit, I am considering an Artificial Urinary Sphincter rather than a sling given the degree of my problem. What experience do members of the Forum have with AUS? What options are there for different products?
Looking forward to hearing from your experience.
It is true ....I found out last week. I manage quite well with a average daily consumption of liquid. IM sticking to no more than 
3 per pub visit. I felt the need to share that with you all.
