How long will incontinence last after prostate cancer treatment?

Was continent after prostate removal but then developed scar tissue. This was removed and I became totally incontinent. I then had to use external catheters, which was a real hassle.
Ultimately had a AUS device installed and that has worked well. No more diapers but I still wear one light pad a day for occasional minor leakage.

Congratulations on your AUS implementation. I am eight weeks post prostrate removal, however it also included hernia repair and removal of previous scar tissue from a colostomy and abdominal surgery. Even after eight weeks I am no near Continent relief. I am doing my Cagle‘s I am going to PT therapy once a week and I wear an augmented wash cloths with my pull-ups. The wash cloths need to be changed on an average of every two hours. This makes it very hard to leave home running length of time. To top this off they’ve already started me on Lupron and a hormone pill. Then in six weeks they want to start me on radiation. I’ll tall this is very frustrating not to have any signs of healing and continent control at this point. If anyone else has been or is in this domain I would appreciate hearing from you to see what success you’ve had or what I should expect.

God bless and cheers to everyone and may your health continue.
