AUS activation and riding a bike

Hi just joined the group. After prostatectomy, nerve bundle, seminal vessels, and 35 lymph nodes removal with gleason 9 and high PSA lupron and radiation treatment I have been thinking about the AUS surgery. I can usually get by on 1 thin pad for the day unless doing a lot of bending over without bending the knees. I try to do my kegal exercises every day which I think helps. Here's my concern I do a lot of bike riding over a 1,000 miles in 2025 and am wondering even after I heal up from surgery how that is going to affect my riding? Thinking about retiring next month after turning 70 and might try for a couple of thousand miles of bike riding. I'm looking for guys experiences riding after surgery and down the road a couple of years. Wondering if I should just be thankful for 1 light pad a day and keep on biking? Let me know what you think. Thanks

You don’t mention how long it’s been since your surgery. You have to give it at least four or five months to see if you can become totally a continent.

They usually will do an AUS if you use multiple pads a day. Do you have to speak to a urologist that specializes in incontinence?.

Some bike riders say this makes the difference
