So sorry to hear that you have bad experience with side effects : (. How long ago was your surgery, if you do not mind me asking ? Did you consider restoring urinary control through procedures like male slings or the artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) ? There is also new method called ProAct.

Also, if you go through posts on this forum you will find a lot of advice about possibly solving ED problem.

I really hope that all will get better with time .

My RP was done May 2019. Those products you suggest are 1) some kind of valve or AUS implanted pressure point to control stress incontinence caused by lifting, sneezing, ccoughing. It's really just artificial plumbing. Quoting my oncologist: How many pads a day do you use? Pads? Well doc"I just use a trash can liner and wear it as a kilt". Stress incontinence? Ha! mine is more like a slightly running faucet all the time except slightly less when laying down. 2)Others suggested are just really heavy duty vinyl diapers, as above just loads of Depends with paper towels as a back up. I have also found it wise to check ahead at any upcoming social venue to make sure seating is plastic or vinyl. Just the best live in girlfriend 12 years now. No woman would tolerate an impotent old geezer leaking all the time.
My reality, coupled with the horrors of Lupron, I now know what hell is like
