Treatment after robotic prostate cancer

Good Evening Yousouf 

You need to contact your team regarding the pain in your anus - if it's continual you need to either ring 111 or report to you local urgent care centre or A & E.

Regarding the incontinence, again you should have been given exercises in the use of your Pelvic floor - if these are not working and/or you still have no control over your bladder after 4 weeks again you need to contact your medical team and seek further advice.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi Yousef

im a week or 2 behind you on the recovery. Had catheter removed 2 weeks ago. No control to start but slowly improving. 
I use Tena Man level 3 pads ( the ones you can put in your own underwear) and find these very effective and most comfortable 

for the pelvic floor exercises the NHS have an App Called Squeezy which I find really helpful. 10 slow squeezes and 10 quick 3 times a day. It also tells you how to do them to make sure your doing them correctly 

I also sometimes get an ache in my anus but this is usually when I need to poo. The hospital gave me Movicol sachets to keep stools soft which helps. You should speak to your Dr

i know your post was a few days back so hopefully you’re making some progress. The incontican be disheartening sometimes but keep doing your pelvic floor exercises ( the advice I’m given) and I’m sure we’ll get there 

stay strong
