Urinary incontinence post surgery for Prostate Cancer is virtually always present and in most cases progressively improves as wound healing occurs. Your urologist will advise you when you may be able to start using an incontinence clamp-like device such as the Pacey Cuff.
After 1 year, approximately 10-15% of patients will have residual control problems. Loneliness and frustration are common so don’t let this hold you back. Start looking for solutions that will enable an active life.
Exercise is the best “free” mood drug you can find- you need both mental and physical workouts! Support your physical health with exercise and your mental health by attending support groups.
