Incontinence and coffee

Posted by edinmaryland @edinmaryland, 6 days ago

71 y.o had RARP in January, nagging incontinence since however I can see improvement, less leakage, better in the mornings, dry at night Still, I imagine I have at least several months to go if I am lucky.

I am taking Gemtessa and have tried to avoid bladder irritants. It has been five months since I have had coffee and I miss it.It really is my only vice. I understand that both the caffeine and acid can be bladder irritants and I certainly do not want anything to make me go backwards. However, I was thinking of trying a half cup to see what happens (low acid, maybe caffeine free for starters. has anyone else had experience with re-starting coffee under these circumstances?? thanks much

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

Here's the response I get from my Oncologist and Urologist. "Wow, your the first
patient we've had with these issues". LOL I stopped even bringing it up. I've had more
luck researching it myself. Good luck with your situation. I'll reach out if I find out more.
Thanks!
