Recovery expectations 6 weeks after HoLEP prostate surgery.

I am four weeks out from my HoLEP. First week went really well, second two, lots of leaks when standing but okay at night. Last week has seen an increase in frequency and urgency. Yet, the last two days, I’m not leaking as much when standing.
Today, I was walking into the airport and flat out didn’t make it. I thought I could but it just came and all of it came out. Luckily I packed extra clothes and was able to clean up and change in my car before heading back into the airport.
Hoping the urgency starts to alleviate as I travel for work.

I am 8 months post HOLEP. I used 4 to 6 depends daily for 6 months. I have always been good at night, but when on my feet not so good. When doing kegels I would fill up my depends. At the 7th month things changed. I only leak occasionally. I have been wearing liners only and I can wear just one liner all day long. Same as your doctor, my doctor told me it is normal for some people to experience incontinence for up to a year. I stopped doing kegels a month ago. I get stress leaks, but nothing bad. I bowl 2 days a week and never have to change my liner. Don’t give up. Stay the course and continue with the kegels. BTW, I am 73 years young.
