As long as it has been since your surgery it is unlikely you can resolve the urine leaking problem. They say that after a year incontinence is unlikely to improve.

You have 3 choices, two of which won’t work if you have radiation on the prostate bed in the future.

Without radiation you could get the sling or ProACT device put in. Either of them should stop the leaking, but the ProACT device would probably work better.

If you do need salvage radiation in the future then the AUS (artificial urinary sphincter) device is the answer. I am having one put in April 2 because of problems like you describe, though mine is worse. It works quite wall, do a search on this forum (at the top level ), others that have had it put in have commented about it. You can also search for ProACT to see comments about it.

@jeffmarc I think that @bueller68 is talking about climacturia, not incontinence per-se. I am in a similar situation, but unfortunately without independent erections yet. @bueller68, have you looked into rings?
