I am now 3 weeks post RP for my Gleason 9 grade 5 wior th EPE and live with depends day and night. My ability to voluntarily control my urination is extremely limited. I hope that with the passing weeks I wil gain sphincter control over my urination but so far, not much. I have not worn a pair of underwear in 3 weeks and am spending my days and nights with multiple "man pants" Less when I am sleeping but once I get up the involuntary drip starts and I try to go to the toilet to control things on my own but it is extremely frustrating. I just hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it is not a freight train coming back at me. Should I be more patient

I see your post was in February, how are you doing now, 9 months later?
I am currently 7 weeks post RARP operation and I’m basically at the point that you describe in your post. I’m feeling depressed as I’m not seeing the progress I expected.
When does the situation get better?

There is a wide differentiation about incontinence after RP. Many people find that waiting seven or eight weeks at least can make a difference. You might be able to go to a physical therapist that specializes in incontinence. A few sessions showing you how to do keagles the ideal way could really help once you get past the first few weeks of healing.
