I’m 78 and I’ve had a stomach surgery, Knee replacement surgery and hip replacement surgery in the last four years. 70 is not too old unless you have health issues. If you’ve had radiation, the sling is not a great idea. It doesn’t work well and recovery can be difficult for some.

Find a urologist that specializes in incontinence. Makes a big difference when you find somebody that does these procedures frequently. You could very well Have the ProACT Device installed instead of the AUS. It doesn’t require pressing a bulb to pee. Again, though it doesn’t work well if you’ve had radiation, That hardens the urethra and makes The product unsuitable. The AUS is supposed to last 10 years, though it, of course could last less time

I am scheduled to have an AUS installed April 2. Guess I’m not too old. My health is good with low blood pressure, good monthly blood test results and very low cholesterol. Sure, I’ve had prostate cancer for 16 years and take three different blood pressure medication’s twice a day, but they work. I also run 1 mile twice a day on the track and go to the gym three days a week to do weight exercises.

Don’t let one urologist make life decisions for you speak to one that specializes in the area you want to be treated for.
