Hello Tanya. Your urethra has to get used to being without a catheter again so be patient with the leakage. Normal kegels done 2-3 times a day will help to get your muscle control back but it takes time. I would hope your surgeon's office has a nurse or PA who can coach you through this as you have questions. My husband dealt with daytime leakage for weeks before it became better. Now only leakage at night and it is minimal. Just imagine the massive trauma in your abdomen with that surgery. It will take months of healing, and nerve tissue is very slow to heal so bladder control can really take a while. Don't get discouraged, and remember that all this you are going through is better than having cancer.
