Can someone help me about life after AUS 800 implant?

We’ve had a pretty similar journey. I’ve always been troubled with urge and stress incontinence since prostatectomy, radiation, ADT, etc. with periods of relief after Botox and AUS. Now six years after AUS insertion, it’s beginning to leak even more. It has never been perfect, but if I kept my bladder relatively empty, the AUS worked fine and I’m glad to have it. I see my urologist in a few weeks to consider replacing the AUS and follow up Botox. They have helped although not perfect. Best wishes.

You have been very helpful. I'm at Mayo in jacksonville They always gives the best scenarios. So far I have had the worst scenario. You had no infections correct? It obviously doesn't last 7 years. Do find it hard use when urinate? Did you have a small bladder capacity. I wore a clamp during radiation treatment an this was effective. After 6-9 months the Urgency and frequency increased making the clamp ineffective. I currently use a condom like cath bag made by Mens Liberty. This was life changer but still I have regulate fluid intake carefully
