I'm 79 y.o. Had a radical Prostatectomy in 1995 followed a year later with salvage radiation. I didn't have urinary issues until around 2017. Then I had to use light drips and dribble pads. When my PSA started to rise in 2022 I was put on Lupron. One of the side effects is muscle loss. As a urinary sphincter is a muscle and leakage became worse. Had to use heavy pads and subsequently a penile clamp along with the heavy pads.
I had AUS surgery in October and couldn't be happier.
It's not a fun trip but what a ya gonna do?
I had pelvic floor rehab that didn't do much but might be something for you to follow up on.
Hope all works well for you.

I am following an extremely similar situation to what you describe. Had surgery in 2010 and in 2014 had salvage radiation. Six years later, I started having some leaking problems, but it wasn’t much. Over the years, it has gotten worse to the point I really don’t want to go anywhere where I’m away for more than two hours without access to a bathroom to change pads.

April 2 I will have an AUS installed, wish it was sooner.
