Hello. I had an interesting experience yesterday regarding this. I'm 5+ weeks out from my RP. Catheter was removed after 1 week and I've been pretty much continent...only small leaks now and then if that if I drink too much water. I even stopped wearing a pad a couple of weeks ago.

Yesterday, I was up early, had 1 cup of coffee and went to the gym. I walk, lift light dumb bells, and do kegels..those daily. I would say I had a good base of fitness before surgery and I'm bouncing back OK.

I then attended an event where I was on my feet for roughly 4 hours with a break for lunch. I used the rest-room when needed and drank a bottle of water with my noon meal. No issues.

Afterwards, I attended a birthday party where I had my 1st drink (an old fashioned) in over 8 weeks. I was startled that I experienced incontinent issues while there...even while sitting. Good thing I wore dark pants. I didn't have a pad on but did have one in the car for emergency in case I needed it and frankly I almost ran out and put it on.

Question is...did the alcohol kick this in? Was it the standing in combo with the walking and light workout? Was it lack of sleep? All of the above?
