This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
Incontinance is one side affect of having a Radical Prostectomy done but we dont have to live with it any more thanks to medical science.
There is available a Urinary Sphincter Implant, mine just happened to be a AMS800 which i was informed to be quite common.
The operation its self is only a short stay in hospital and then returning about 5 weeks later to have it activated.
Beleive me it was worth it as i would wet at least one pair of pants a day.
Talk to your urologist, dont wait or be put of by the urologist. Remember its you not him that has the problem.
