Alternative incontinence treatments?

I am 2.6 weeks out from prostatectomy, 2 weeks from catheter removal. My bladder drains freely without me knowing. I feel urine when it is exiting the penis, usually when I get up from a chair. I then try to get to the toilet.
I have no sensation from my bladder.

I have been doing the exercises to the point that I am almost sore. I can feel good contractions when I do the exercises, but half the time urine spurts out while doing them.

I had no continence issues prior to surgery.

You could find a pelvic floor physical therapist. They might be able to get that muscle working for you doing exercises differently. Sounds like it’s pretty serious though as if you’ve lost all control of sphincter.

Somebody in this forum was talking about using ProACT To stop their incontinence and It works 99% for them. The AUS works well too, but still leaks a little. Someone at the Advanced prostate cancer Ancan.com online meeting this week talked about how his AUS had recently slipped and was turned around and he has to use two hands to push the button to pee. He’s had it for a few years..
