I had RALP surgery on January 10. 70 YO, fairly active bicyclist and intermittent yoga practitioner. Diagnosed as Gleason 4+3, no metastasis, no radiation or chemo.

Incontinence began to disappear at 4 months. Now, at 7 months post-surgery, incontinence has mostly disappeared. However, I do experience more leakage late in the day, especially if I’ve been working outside in the heat and have had lots of water, or had a couple of glasses of wine at night.

Be patient and do the Kegel exercises - they do work. I found that wearing a pad didn’t prevent me from normal social activities like eating out, socializing with friends, etc. Initially, I needed to change pads every hour, so always stayed close to a powder room and carried spares with me.

I experience no leakage now when sleeping, seated, driving or riding a bike.

ED is another issue. My surgeon tells me that I should experience a change in 12 - 15 months.

In the meantime, life is good !
Good luck with your recovery,
Jim
