Re: Questions that I should ask md at 1st post op appointment
It's been 9 months ago for me, but come to mind several. How to work on gaining urinary control, including how soon to begin Kegels. When to start Levitra or some other pill to regain erections. I don't know about your exercise and physical activity habits, but ask specifics about the time when it is ok to restart those. Ask when to do your first postop PSA tests, and recommended schedule thereafter. Also I would just ask if he could share any observations with you regarding the actual surgery. Just letting him know that you are interested in anything that he encountered specific to you.
