Urinary Control after IPP?

Postby BillinAL » Wed Mar 19, 2014 1:42 pm

I had a prostatechomy in December 2010 and though ended up with severe ED, I remained completely continent. If I have the implant surgery, what is the likelihood of becoming incontinent?

What has been your experience?

Thank you.

LIke you I had no problem with incontinence following open surgery to have my prostate removed.

After the implant although there was still no problem with incontinence I did have to develop a better technique for clearing any excess urine out of the shaft

From my experience thus far (day 10) and research, I just do not think this will be serious concern. Go for it.

I asked my Dr. and he said "I've never seen this happen, it's not in the urinary tract nor is the device near the urethra"
