Having nighttime incontinence only after surgery
Hey guys,
Had my prostate removed and for a whole month no incontinence at all then it started at night. Thought I was in the clear. Didn’t do much pelvic floor exercises cause thought all was good. Anyone have this happen?

Mine is just the opposite. Night time is no problem. When I am up and about it just runs out. Most I have seen have an easier time at night. Maybe your sleeping to deeply at night. I have to get up about 3 times.

1 ReactionPostop rehab Kegel/pelvic floor exercises: I had 3 or 4 post op sessions w/ PT and continued exercises for months.
Very helpful for me.
Best wishes.

1 ReactionYup, had 2 or 3 bedwettings at night - very inconvenient!! I started wearing Depends to avoid the 2AM bedsheet change; slowly realized that this only occurred when I ate gassy foods such as beans, broccoli, certain kinds of apples.
I cut down a bit and it improved to the point of no Depends but only a waterproof pad for my side of the bed. I think it takes a while for your sphincters to work properly by themselves.
I was probably farting in my sleep and that triggered my bladder sphincter to let go as well. All good now with the passage of time.
