Do you have urinary incontinence after prostatectomy & radiation?

Sam60, thanks so much for sharing your details with AMS. The surprises must be terrible both mentally and emotionally. Hope you can find a workaround to prevent such things.
There must be some real variation in the way these things operate. After I find and skin back my penis it takes a fairly hard squeeze to activate AMS. But then it’s great (as long as my aim is decent). And maybe one more good squeeze and I”m empty. My only worry is that the arthritis in my thumb(s) progresses. Even if I have to use a pliers I”m not going to give up.
I hope. You can find some adjustment to the AMS that can hep.

Tomf, I encourage you to keep bugging your friends about PC and to keep checking their PSA. I’ve badgered my two sons, both in their 40’s, till they got a baseline PSA. And same for friends. What surprised me is so many of them also had PC but never mentioned it.

We all gotta spread the word. We could save a life or a life-style.

Good luck to both of you and all our PC brothers. We need it with God’s help.

Same here, after radiation, AND the Eligard every 6 months. Not really incontinence, just urinating all the time.
Drink a 20 oz bottle of water, pee every 15 mins for 3 hours. Annoying and disruptive. Anyone else have this?

Please read my previous post. I had this problem and was treated with SANS (Stoller Afferent Nerve Stimulation). Dr. Stoller is vice chair of urology at UCSF and was my doctor. This procedure is non invasive and is widely available. Sort of like a targeted, enhanced acupuncture. It really worked for me.

My husband had 2 rounds of Bulkamed injections after his prostate removal. It’s kind of like Botox. He was very satisfied with it. He most likely will have one more after he finishes radiation.

我的手术是根治，2023年元月7日手术，至今尿失禁。有问过医生吊带和安装人工扩约肌均有问题，所以我不准备这些。现在在做提肛，效果不出院时好些。估计这辈子就是尿袋相伴了
