ProACT vs AUS (Artificial Urinary Sphincter): Which did you choose?

For months I have been going through 6 or more pads per day, including now when I am waiting for my artificial urinary sphincter to be activated. I recently had a urine culture and found out that I have a urinary tract infection even though I don't have any symptoms. Have any other men had UTIs due to incontinence and having moist pads throughout the day?

Yep. UTI much more likely. I'm not aware of any studies pro or con, but cranberry juice seems to help. There are cranberry pills available otc. I had 3 UTIs in 2 months and while this is anecdotal at best, since drinking a glass everyday I've not had one for 7 months.
