My Dr. says an artificial urinary sphincter is the next step, thoughts?

I am still experiencing incontinence. I had my prostate removed 2.5 years ago and a Male Sling put in about 6 months ago. The Sling improved my leaking from 3-5 pads a day to 1-3 pads but I'm 52 and my quality of life is significantly impacted so looking for a solution.

  1. Hi Vikster! I'm hoping someone from the community will be able to share their experience, but in the meantime I wanted to share the article we have on incontinence: https://prostatecancer.net/living-coping/incontinence/ and our Q&A on leaking: https://prostatecancer.net/q-and-a/leaking-stop-improve/. Thanks for asking this question, I'm sure you're not the only one wondering about treatments! - Nina, ProstateCancer.net Team
