Regaining confidence by improving continence | World Continence Week

While no two patients are the same, evidence suggests that up to 80% of men experience urine leakage after a prostatectomy. For some men it stops after a few weeks or months, while others may have problems on a longer-term basis. Factors such as a man’s age, overall health, and any pre-existing conditions can impact recovery time, and symptoms can range from drips and light leakage to greater loss of control.
This vodcast brings together experts and survivors to talk about surgical and non-surgical treatments and options for rehabilitation and the recovery of bladder control.
