There are some good advice here also - watch from about 10:50 to 13:30 minute.
I completely understand you - it must be an unnerving feeling and it is hard not to think about it when it is actually happening but try also to keep in mind that most men will experience leaking in the first couple of months and than will get better and better till about 95% (give or take) get a complete control by year one. Then the rest of men will do some extra exercises and have an improvement and small % will need some additional help. It is really so early to make any assessment. It would be unfair to yourself to compare to minority that is dry at day one < 3 Most men need time BUT they get continence back most of the time. Do not concentrate to 5% that need extra time and even smaller number that might opt for surgery at the end.
