Incontinence after radical prostatectomy

I’m about the same stage with the same issues . I’m in France and I’m going to the physio this afternoon to start 20 sessions of pelvic re-education, which involves a probe up my bum to stimulate muscles and to measure how well I do kegels. Will let you know how it goes . Bill

1. Hiya Bill, good to hear from you again, hope all went well today? Please keep us posted.

Sorry . It was fine . After the probe was inserted , they found a comfortable current level and I had 15 minutes of intermittent stimulation . I then had to control my own contraction with the pressure generated displayed on screen .

ive also stopped alcohol and caffeine . Probably coincidentally things have been great since yesterday afternoon-next session Friday , where we’ll increase duration and strength of contractions .

Slightly sceptical, but we’ll see.

best wishes , Bill

Hiya, thanks for the update. Sounds promising. Be interested in your progress. 

Sam

Probably psychological , but my best day since the op .

Bet your husband goes pale when he sees that !

Hi  - yes expecting too much to soon ! - he seems to be making great progress and you are doing everything fine but only a few get dry in weeks for most its many months but most get there in the end 

Hi Bill, sorry only just saw your message. I’ll be sure to show him this . Glad it’s worked out well for you. My husband went for first check up with surgeon on Friday and he seemed really pleased with his progress. Said if he is dry at night the rest will come. 
All the best with your recovery

Hi Pauloboss, 

thanks for your reply. Every day gets a tiny bit better

Thanks Sam . I’m improving day by day , sometimes going days without pads . Confident about the outcome . Best wishes to you both . Bill
