Post surgery stress incontinence: Any good advice for everyone?

@lsk1000
I personally would not advise using it this early in recovery since both the brain and the local nerves need to "re-learn" holding urine in. There is a special two-way pathway that needs to be re-established and stimulated to reconnect and gain control of the outer sphincter. Also, blood flow through the penis is of utmost importance for preventing atrophy and clamp slows down that blood-flow.

@surftohealth88 Yeah, you got me with atrophy and blood flow stopping.
I'm gonna hold off unless I really need the option later. I know that it is a great option down the road. But, my surgeon did say right up front not to use a clamp.
