I had my prostate removed in 2011. I carried out Kegel exercises for 10 years, but have remained incontinent ever since, using 1 level 2 pad a day, but requiring several when playing golf. I am in a cycling club, and cycling does not give any problems.

A Urinary consultant has given me 2 bulking injections, which gave a small improvement, but he now concludes that I should have a sling inserted. This has a reasonable chance of stopping the leakage, but I am worried that I would have to give up cycling.

Has anyone had any experience of the male sling?
