Incontinence update 3 1/2 months post Prostatectomy (RP)

As an update, I started experimenting with the Lunderg incontinence clamp. I put it on for an hour or more to reman dry during certain activities which usually trigger stress incontinence such as Yoga poses or certain pelvic floor exercises. I was intially very sceptical about its fit, effectiveness, or comfort, but to my surprise so far so good. Clearly this is not a permanent solution, but could be very helpful to remain dry in certain cirumstances.

I agree - we should never shy of trying things and we never know what can help. We are all different both physiologically, anatomically and psychologically. We also know our body the best !
Patients on this forum found help with rowing and stair climbing by pure accident : ))) ! Nothing else gave them such fast and full recovery. For some other patients it might not be the case.
The most important ting is to never give up and in the meantime make life easier using whatever is available.
BTW - my husband also had more leaking when exercising pelvic floor but it improved over time little by little till it stopped. Bending forward to touch the floor caused squirting for example. He was not bothered with that since he always considered that a normal part of recovery. You are very, very early in your recovery path : ), I am sure that it all will resolve for you too.
