I had my prostate remove more than a year ago a little pain and discomfort no problem releasing my urine at all only ED problems but dealing with it since I am married to a wonderful woman that understands the situation

I had my RP 1 1/2 years ago. Prior to my surgery I did Kegels religiously for a month, in addition to my usual cardio and strength workouts. Preparing the body to be strong as possible. I had very little body fat in my abdominal area, which the surgeon said will make the procedure easier to perform. I’m happy to say the surgery went well and I had ZERO incontinence issues. Best wishes as you prepare for your surgery. 🙏🤞

I have decided to have RP, surgery is set for August 13. 2 days before my birthday. The doctor will be using a single port so I hope I won’t have abdominal pain as much. I have read the literature but I’m still not looking forward to the day I have the RP. My Gleason is 4+3, the biopsy showed 15 out of 30 cores were positive. Will be doing nerve sparing. The cancer is very close to the nerves on the left side but the Petscan indicates it’s still local and hasn’t spread yet. As far as work goes, he said I could return to work in a few days with restrictions but I don’t want to deal with a catheter at work. I had a catheter in 2021 after a bout with 8 and 9 mm kidney stones so I’m somewhat familiar with that. Just didn’t have the bag to deal with. Hoping for the best.
