   <p>My wife left soon after my surgery saying she was only in her mid 50&#39;s and was not able to be in a relationship with a man who can&#39;t get an erection, have and orgasm or ejaculate not to mention the fact I need to wear adult diapers because I&#39;m wet all the time. I deeply regret having the surgery.</p>

   <p>I had not seen your reply earlier and sorry to hear your news. Know you are not alone. There are a number of men in our support group who had a similar experiences . Here are a few thoughts <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>--- Have you spoken to your urologist about the leaking and ways to control it? If you are not getting answers I would suggest you seek out another urologist. The medical team here tells men there is no reason to suffer with leaking. While embarrassing they encourage men to speak up. Quality of life after surgery is important<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>--- Prostate cancer impacts both the body and mind and it can be very beneficial to have a chat with a psychologist. A few years back we had one speak at our support group. It was truly amazing how helpful he was for many of the men in his 45 minute presentation where he covered marriage and how to deal with life after surgery. <br/><br/><br/><br/></p>
