I had surgery in September 2025 and it's been a journey ever since. I leaked every time I walked to the bathroom or started making dinner after sitting in my office for a few hours at a time. Even after going to the bathroom, I would walk away and start leaking again. This happened almost every day for the first 3 months. I saw a UA who suggested Gemtesa which treats overactive bladders. It's expensive with no generic out yet, but I started that in November. It's really hard to say whether or not it has helped, but I have improved over the last few months with less or no leakage making it to the bathroom. Then I took my first trip this week with a flight to the midwest for work, and I was full of anxiety. I was relatively okay on the flights, but every night when I got back to my hotel room, the leakage was just like it was after surgery. I'm convinced that my anxiety makes it much worse which is not exactly something that I can control, but I do see a therapist which helps to talk about it. I have been back home for a couple of days now and I am hoping I get back to where I was before the trip.

Some guys have no incontinence issues where others really suffer. There just isn't a magical solution. I just hope with time while continuing to exercise and work on my kegels that I will keep improving. I hope you will as well because it absolutely sucks to have little or no control over leaks.
