How long will incontinence last after prostate cancer treatment?

Hopefully, you did a few weeks of Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy prior to the surgery. This helped me tremendously. I resumed the PFPT as soon as the catheter was removed and continued for another 4-6 weeks.

With the PT before the operation, I was fully continent after catheter removal.

I wore the diapers after the surgery for 2-3 weeks but had no dribbles or spotting. I skipped the Guards and used the Pads for 2-3 weeks - still no unintentional output - so I quit them, upon the advice of the Therapist.

I wish you luck.

Thank you, your reply is encouraging although I’m only three weeks after surgery, but extensive surgery. My daily progress is in baby steps and I guess that’s what’s frustrating. I’m an outdoors person golfing and walking and I just wanna get back to normal as soon as possible. Thank you so much for your encouragement continue your good health and well-being.
