I’m 79 and had an AUS installed via outpatient surgery 6 months ago. I went from about 11-12 pads a day to 0. Hardly any leaking incidents and I can mostly avoid them by getting up carefully from hard surfaces or prepping myself if a strong sneeze is coming. There’s tenderness in the testicals but it’s hardly noticeable. For me, the AUS has been wonderful, letting me function essentially like a normal person.

@rob275 Thanks for your reply. Glad to hear it is working well for you! My husband is 80 and has other health issues and I worry that the AUS might cause him more suffering and he has suffered enough. Have an appt w the urologist next Friday and will find out more info, i.e is my husband strong enough to go through the procedure etc and what other options are.

Sorry all for my misspelling of testicles. 😊
