Hi Guys!!!
I NEED YOUR HELP, ADVISE, EXPERIENCE ETC!!!!
I had an invasive prostate cancer few years back and they removed the whole prostate gland. As a result of the removal of the Prostate gland I am now severely urine incontinent and change 8-9 pads a day. I can't walk for long, laugh, climb stairs as I will pass and leak urine uncontrollably. As you can imagine my daily tasks are limited and the cancer has changed my life. I was only 52 when I was diagnosed.
I have had the sling operation done to lift the bladder up and help with the urine incontinence but I have seen zero improvement and if anything my condition has become so much worse since.
My Consultant Urological Surgeon has offered me the Artificial urinary sphincter surgery. I have been reading about it and I am really not sure if I should undergo a second operation. Has anyone had this surgery done? What are the pros and cons and if they would recommend?
I would appreciate any advice or help.
Many thanks
Sam
