I was basically continent as soon as the catheter came out. But I was able to do Kegals for about a month before surgery and I was in pretty good shape anyway as working out is part of my normal routine. Even though I was "continent", I did have several inadvertent urine releases as I figured out the new normal. Plus I had no confidence that I wouldn't have an accident for a few months. Frankly, it was 4 or 5 months before I considered myself essentially "back to normal" for continence. At this point, urine flow is way better than before with my BPH prostate. But I do know that if the right physical circumstances arise I might well have some minor urine release in the future. All that said, I consider myself fully continent. The ED is a different story. I am able to have intercourse and climaxes, but it's definitely a work in progress. But it is getting better, but very slowly. I attribute my good outcome to a very skilled and experienced surgeon at a CCOE, early PCa detection, and some good old fashioned good luck. Best wishes on your recovery.
