Help with Bladder weakness

Good morning and welcome to this group. I am pretty sure that you wish you weren’t here, but you will find we are a welcoming bunch.

I am afraid that I don’t have this experience but by replying it keeps you at the top of the list. Other, more experienced, people will be along soon.

There is quite a bit of information that could be some help on this page from Prostate Cancer UK:

https://prostatecanceruk.org/prostate-information-and-support/living-with-prostate-cancer/urinary-problems?_gl=1*88toms*_up*MQ..*_gs*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkt_UBhDMARIsALpnOAx8H_dZCGK4ppucz4DAwNRCKNjIELrzXuxK7DlUipOItHbLtfb12JsaArt9EALw_wcB&gbraid=0AAAAAqxnKB49H1P_FPdnFomWdhdN80loo

The most help should come from your surgical team who can point to specialist treatment.

There is also a lot of information on the NHS website, starting on this web page:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/urinary-incontinence/

One thing about this is that there is a lot of information. I have found, since diagnosis, that the more I understand, the more direct questions I can ask.

Others with real experience will be along soon.

Thank you so much  i appreciate that xxx

Hello Tulula09 

I am so sorry to read of your husbands condition. Whilst I don't have the issues your husband has I have had an indwelling catheter for 10 months and understand some of the issues. 

We do have another group you may wish to join and here's a link for you:

Ileostomy, colostomy, urostomy and any other stoma support 

Just click on the link I have provided and it will take you there.

This post from a couple of years ago may help:

 Pads and what you need to know 

I feel sure once he's had the operation and you know how his condition is his team will be able to provided you with the appropriate help.

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you so much xx
