Incontinence and coffee

I sometimes feel a little dense
For example, when I tried riding my exercise bike it took me three days to figure out that I was leaking significantly more, having trouble at might etc. When I stopped these symptoms went away but it took me three days to figure it out.
How do bladder irritants become noticeable? more urge to urinate? discomfort, bloating ??
I tried a cup of low acid decaf this morning ( first trial of coffee in five months) and then went for a walk and during the walk I was leaking big time way more than I have been. Could this have been this one little cup of coffee?? ( I guess anything is possible)

I’m no expert but I wouldn’t think so; no caffeine, low acid (coffee-ols) should make it just like water. Could be the speed of the walk or simply prolonged incontinence due to treatment.
Unfortunately, some men suffer more damage than others no matter how diligent the surgeon, RO or the patient.

@edinmaryland
It seems my urination problems have gotten worse 2 years after my radiation treatments ended.

I seem to not urinate completely and will dripple afterward. When I do need to go the urgeny will build and if I don't get to urninal in time it will come out regardless of what I do.

Now it seems every time I urinate there is always some left in tract and will dripple out. I do drink decaf coffee and a coke product called Coke Cherry Zero. It does have caffiene but no sugar just an artificial one.

One thing strange for me is I can urinate. Then go to wash my hands and the running water makes me want to urinate again.
I am 78 and really irritates me to have this. Will be meeting with my R/O at my 2 year after treatment date and will discuss with him.
