Incontinence
Questions about side effects
I'm curious as to how many here are permanently incontinent after prostate surgery. It's been over 5 years, and I still have to wear diapers. I had green light surgery approximately 10 years ago. I'm also dealing with heart failure and had back surgery a few years ago. I'm thinking those issues and my age (75) may be contributing factors to my long-term problems. I had poor bladder control before all this prostate "stuff" began to occur. I have accepted the fact that I need diapers, but curious if any others have had similar experiences. Accepting the new normal!
