Has anyone experienced incontinence after HOLEP surgery ?

I had HOLEP done last October. I had little or no pain post-op. However, I’m dealing with incontinence and I see little improvement. I’ve read, and have been told, that roughly 30% of HOLEP patients experience prolonged incontinence that almost always resolves itself within a year. For me, it’s been a hassle, but if it disappears in a year I can live with the issue.

Friends, I hope to have the HOLEP procedure this year, 2025 at UC Davis, Sacramento, CA. I am concerned and preparing for pain from urination post-surgery. My wife referenced Pyridium to help with burning and stinging while peeing. Worth a try. I am 75YO and have had 5 different kinds of surgery and the procedures to me are not the big concern but pain management. Hope to play golf again without peeing at every tree stump.
