I would say there has been some improvement, but not enough. Having a test next month to get more information about the condition of my bladder. PT helped some. Still doing kegels as directed. trying another medication. Did a cystoscopy a couple of months ago and was told the sphincter is weak and everything looked fine. Looking into alternative treatments. Also thinking about another opinion from a place like Mayo. Talked to another doctor but his specialty is artificial sphincter surgery and that is what he wanted to perform. Not sure I am ready for that. Wish I could be more positive but it just isnt there.

@rwinpa I would recommend looking into seeing Dr Mitchell Humphreys at Mayo Clinic in phoenix. They are actually doing a EMSELLA chair study for post HoLEP incontinence. Also Dr Humphreys has done about 7,000 HoLEP Surgeries. I had to wait two months to get it done by him. I’m 3 weeks out and do have incontinence. Mostly stress incontinence. But it is now getting better and better by the day. I went from using 5-6 pads a day and now 2-3 pads. Hopefully I get to zero pads!
