That is good news since 2003. I will be interested in the answers. I had RP in Feb 2020. I have been incontinent since surgery. I also can hold it during the night. I usually get up a couple times to make sure. I have put on a condom catheter since surgery. It solves the issue of wearing a pad. Which is disgusting to me. But I am so tired of getting dressed every morning that I would like to find a reliable option. I went to see my urologist at Mayo last summer. He suggested I use an AUS. It does require surgery which is what I am nervous about doing. I did a search of AUS on this site and my feeling was its still not a 100% fix. My urologist told me to not worry. But... To have all the equipment up inside you waiting to malfunction but on the other hand if it would give me back some normalcy then maybe I should. I have been working extra hard on kegels but at 73 building muscle is not what it was. My urologist said most likely kegels would not fix it.

@tuckerp I had the AUS last July.
Totally worth it.
I was useless at Kegels, so incontinent for 9 months.
I know it's another surgery & recovery is no fun.
It's not always 100% continent. But I went from 7 pads a day to zero.
