It's been over a year since my surgery and I still don't feel like I'm empty after urinating. I can go back after 30 seconds and drain another ounce or two. I can't use a urinal any more because I have to take so much time making sure I'm done. Using toilet paper helps to drain the last bit.
Not much help on the surgery part. During EBRT, I lost control of #1 & #2. I did find, and still do, that standing up gets rid of more urine. I use a cup, as I do not like to clean up the splatter around the toilet. I still wear panty liners, primarilly for some incontinence with #2 after hemorrhroid surgery. I think that the rectum was twice tramatized and is still in recovery.
Yes, time is a great healer. I can see much improvement.
