@curley3, I moved your question about incontinence after TURP procedure to this discussion in the Men's Health group:
- Does anyone have any tips for pre and post op TURP procedure? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/does-anyone-have-any-tips-for-pre-and-post-op-turp-procedure/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with others talking about TURP and incontinence like @brucekn @elcorbs @pamperme and others.

Curley, have you worked with a physical therapist on Kegel's or other pelvic floor exercises?

I had Green Light Laser therapy to remove part of my bladder neck that was keeping urine in my bladder in 2011, in Springfield, IL. That procedure worked to solve my urge incontinency, but the problem has returned within the past couple of years, and it's one of the things Mayo is seeing me for. They want me to use an intermittent catheter, which I was opposed to at first, but I've grown to accept the idea as the "least bad" option. Drug therapy doesn't work for me, or causes me to hold too much urine in my bladder.

I am not sure what a physical therapist could do?
