Urine leakage when sexually aroused

Do others experience urinary leakage when sexually aroused

  1. This has occurred after radical prosectmy and 2 years following penile implant. No control and may or may not occur

    1. Hi . I can't personally speak to this issue, but I do want to share with you this video from our contributor Rebecca, who is a pelvic floor therapist: https://prostatecancer.net/video/urinary-leakage-tips. I also found this article that looks at "Orgasm-associated urinary incontinence (climacturia) following radical prostatectomy," including treatments: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7705983. Also, this page covers sexual incontinence related to prostate cancer: https://www.pcf.org/sexual-health-changes/sexual-incontinence/. Hoping this information is helpful. Best, Richard (Team Member)

  2. I'm 5 months and 2 weeks out and had nerve sparing. Sparing was a success as I have had spontaneous arousals in the morning, but not enough for intercourse without help of Rx. I have been religious with the VED therapy. All of these have involved urine leakage. I use a cotton ball in the VED to absorb. It was much worse before and seems better with each day. Occasional relapses...but it is improving. Don't know if that helps.
