Treatments for long term incontinence after RP

Posted by jsh327 @jsh327, Jun 10 9:54am

I am posting this on behalf of @phl6953, Replies should be sent to @phl6953. A simplified Chinese translation (Google Translate) is pasted below the English language version

@phl6953 I underwent radical surgery for prostate cancer on January 7, 2023. Unfortunately, my prostate cancer reached the nerves outside of the prostate, so they were not saved during surgery. I have been suffering from urinary incontinence ever since. What is your experience with treatments that successfully stopped or greatly reduced incontinence?

As background, I will be 71 next month. My health has always been good, I swim in public water almost every day, 365 days a year. I have been doing Kegel exercises of three sets a day - morning, afternoon, and evening - of 20 minutes each with 10 second muscle hold and then 10 second muscle relax. In August 2023, I started receiving a treatment of magnetic vibration to the perineum. By February 2024, I woke up with very little leakage and only woke up 1-2 times per night. Unfortunately, in March after having alcohol, I started to have more leakage.

Please help with advice based upon your experience.

@phl6953 我于 2023 年 1 月 7 日接受了前列腺癌根治手术。不幸的是，我的前列腺癌扩散到了前列腺外的神经，因此在手术中未能挽救。从那时起，我就一直受到尿失禁的困扰。请问您在成功阻止或大大减少尿失禁的治疗方面有什么经验？

作为背景，我下个月就 71 岁了。我的健康状况一直很好，一年 365 天几乎每天都在公共水域游泳。我一直在做凯格尔运动，每天早、中、晚各做三组，每组 20 分钟，肌肉保持 10 秒钟，然后肌肉放松 10 秒钟。2023 年 8 月，我开始接受会阴部磁振治疗。到 2024 年 2 月，我醒来时已经很少漏尿了，每晚只醒 1-2 次。不幸的是，三月份喝酒后，我的漏尿现象开始增多。

请根据您的经验提供建议。

I was 73 when I had RP surgery. My doctor told me he had to cut wide on one side in order to remove my cancer. I was incontinent for 10 months. I did Kegels and other abdominal strengthening exercises. After a year, I was 95% continent. However, four months later I had to have surgery to remove two hernias. I had a relapse and it took five months to become continent again. I’m 100 continent now and usually need to get up once or twice a night.
Hang in there. There is hope. I’d also suggest to review what you’re drinking and eating.

Thank you for your reply.
My basic diet is rice.
Add low-sugar vegetables and fruits.
Leaking urine makes me feel nervous.

您的“其他腹部强化练习”是什么内容，很想知道，我可能就是缺乏其他腹部强化练习。是否有专业的指导视频？

What is the content of your "other abdominal strengthening exercises"? I would like to know, but I may just lack other abdominal strengthening exercises. Is there a professional instructional video?

Abdominal exercise ideas: I’d suggest to look on YouTube. Look for videos on Pilates.

谢谢您的指导！因为我是中国人，对美国的一些事情不会很清楚和理解。麻烦您告诉我：在YouTube中寻找普拉提的视频，“普拉提”是什么？

我已经找到普拉提的视频，里面有很多锻炼身体的视频，对腹部的锻炼也很多，真是目不暇接！但看花了眼，不知道选哪一个？请您推荐数个，只要网址就行。谢谢，多有打扰！

今天我患前列腺癌和手术后一个关键点节点。去年元月7日手术，至5月PSA指标0.057，6月决定内分泌治疗，于14日注射第一针。9月14日注射第2针、12月14日注射第3针。PSA指标呈下降趋势，至今年3月14日PSA指标又为0.01。6月14日是我最后一针的半年日，今天检查的PSA指标0.000（ng/ml）,参考值（0--4）；睾酮T0.2（ng/ml）。参考值（男性1.42-9）。太太知道后很是高兴，现在我就剩下尿失禁！
上帝呀，承救我吧，几时才能够成为一个100%的大陆人！
