Jeff - don't you have AUS implant now ? I am so sorry to hear that it did not solve a problem : (

I was thinking - if sitting down causes squirting it is probably because of sudden pressure to your pelvic floor and perhaps even device activation part ? How about you try sitting slowly or sitting first somewhat on one side than slowly leveling up on a chair ? Or, perhaps wait 5 min in the bathroom and try going again so the rest of the urine (however small amount) is released in the toilet.

The AUS will be activated tomorrow. Then I’ll see what happens.

I noticed this problem a long time ago. The problem with waiting in the bathroom is that the bladder is constantly being refilled. The longer you wait the more you pee.

I have had my bladder checked by the doctor after peeing and it was empty.

Up till now, I have carried a small towel that I put in front of me when I sit down, otherwise I leave a spot on the edge of the bed.

I brought this up because I think it may be a common problem. I don’t have the problem when I’m standing up.
