Incontinence Improvement with Pelvic PT?

Posted by lb1049 @lb1049, Feb 26, 2023

Its only been since December 7 that I've been in PT and recently began tracking using the 24 hour pad test. Since February 11 the average is 444/24 hours. The 2 day moving average is 418/24 hours.

This looks like I'm far behind the curve of those who eventually made significant improvement.

I'm interested in other's comments about their rate of improvement over the initial months following RP.

I do my daily kegels, and other exercises from PT. No caffeine or alcohol. 73 years old. No problem prior to RP.

Great job Jerry and congratulations. I am very happy for you, your family and friends. Great progress.

With a one hour voiding schedule 24 hour grams is declining at 8g per day. One hour voiding is pretty much socially awkward. Two to three hour voiding seems far into the future.

I’m happy to read so many positive posts bringing great emotional support that my team does not address.

One element not discussed, unless I’ve forgotten, is climacturia. If you can get by incontinence, which I’m struggling with, and ED then climacturia is an issue that doesn’t get much discussion. In my case the care team position is “ it happens, too bad.”

I have found no solution and it’s relationship devastating.
