I’ve had my AUS for more than 5 years. It’s not perfect, but it’s helping me live a more normal life and save on incontinence pads. I had trouble with urge incontinence for a time. The bladder would push so hard that I leaked. A Botox treatment helped with that. Best wishes. Just make sure your surgeon has done lots of AUS insertions.

I would love ask questions about your experience with AUS. My urologist is recommending this route for me. I will give some back. I'm 56 with a gleason 9 stage 4 prostate cancer. 2022 radical prostatectomy. To my surprise I had to get my sigmoid colon removed prior to radiation due to my diverticulitis being severe. I had 40 rounds IMRT radiation this when urgency started. 2yrs of Zytiga and 3 years Eligard added to recipe. Urgency got worst after 6 months. They said it would get better, never happened. 44 round Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Nope this didn't help. Urology ran more diagnostic test. Found out my bladder shrunk. Now two rounds botox to help stretch the to hold more volume and final recommendations AUS.
