Pretty much normal once your initial recovery period is over. I quit pads after 4 months. Dry micro-orgasms so that is significant if you are sexually active. And work those pelvic floor muscles. That was the key for me. The one positive, I can empty a full bladder in about 3 seconds lol.

I'm 70 and had NS RARP late June 2024 at Mayo Phoenix. I'm reasonably fit but not excessively so. I did Kegels a month before and I still do them twice a day. I was never incontinent, but it did take about 3 months to figure out the "new normal". A few minor urine releases early on (such as the first time I lifted something heavy), but all that went away by 5 months. At 8+ months I'm completely back to normal except for subpar sexual performance (maybe 70% firmness) which I think is improving ever so slowly. I am on a low dose (5 mg) daily Cialis for penile rehab and I think it helps. The "dry" climax was a negative at first, but now it's no longer a concern and seems mostly "normal" to me. I wish the sexual recovery would proceed faster but so far it's still getting better. As @chippydoc said, my urination is actually better than before when I had my enlarged prostate. For me the recovery after surgery wasn't a big deal. The week of the catheter was unpleasant but manageable. I strictly followed all doctor instructions for meds, diet, exercise, etc. Once the catheter came out, improvement was quick. Doctor said no lifting more than 10 lbs for 6 weeks and no bike riding (or similar pelvic stress) for 3 months. For me it was hard to follow as I literally felt pretty good fairly quickly. I'm not a medical professional and I certainly don't know which treatment path is best for you. For me the surgery has turned out pretty good. I really have no idea if radiation or some other treatment would have been better. Best wishes.
