Alternative incontinence treatments?

Posted by anosmic1 @anosmic1, Mar 30 6:53pm

I'm about ready to consider alternative approaches to incontinence. RP surgery was 14 weeks ago, and I had had 3+ weeks of physical therapy and a month of Gemtesa. My one added challenge is that there had been some spread to the bladder neck so I'm sure they removed some of that. Still, changing my Depends in the men's room stall at work is getting old. (Age 67, Gleason 9 {4+5}, latest PSA undetectable)

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Anosmic I to got some relief from Gemtesa but my insurance will not pay for any medication for over active bladder not any of them but if you call Gemtesa company I did get it for $95 a month instead of @ $450 a month. Some people can get it free if qualified, sadly I didn’t. I use mybetric for a while with a good discount by calling company again some can get for free, I didn’t qualify but I think it was @ $45 a month with discount from mybeitic. Both medicines helped but not enough, am waiting to try axonics. I am going to update how it goes once I get. I started a discussion group but no one had any comment yet I think it is a newer treatment. I hope you get relief soon.

I have found that taking 2 Myrbetriq a day has really made a difference after being on it for about two months it seems my incontinence is less every week with that drug. Took a few weeks to really work.
