EXTRA: How You Will Pee after Prostate Cancer Surgery
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 11. 2015
- Most prostate cancer surgery patients get worried about incontinence after their surgery. Well, here is my experience, which happened to be a great one. Dr David Samadi's prostate removal technique saved me from cancer, but also kept me 100% continent. I don't even leak. Here is my story.
I’m on day 6 recovery after Prostate surgery. Have had some pretty low times during this period. Thank you mark for all your videos. It really helps seeing someone who has gone through the same experience and can pass on useful advice on what to expect and things to look out for. Also really great hearing from someone who is so positive.
Proper kegal exercises vitamin b1 and 4 table spoons nutritional yeast. Extremely important for 3 months.
Hey, I am having surgery this Friday for prostate removal due to cancer. Why the nitritional yeast?

keep your head up
Thanks again for your insights and viewpoints. Wish I discovered your videos months before my surgery but they still have added a great amount of value. Thanks so much for all that you do.
Thanks for giving this info to share with those in your circumstance!. Stopping Prostrate Cancer from spreading has come a long way! 👍
Great vid, thx. I see this is now 7 yrs old… I hope you and all the guys who’ve commented have recovered well from their prostate surgeries. I had RALP surgery 2 yrs ago. Fortunate to have had good bladder control; the Kegel exercise definitely helped. A few unexpected dribbles early on, but that stopped and never had to wear pads or a diaper. A year ago I underwent 35 radiation treatments because my PSA, although very low, was still registering and increased a bit. Two PSA checks since then have been “undetectable” and that’s been good news. If you’ve just had the surgery, hang in there! It takes some time, but your body does recover as best it can.
Thank you, Mark. I am having prostate removal surgery this Friday. I am so glad to have found you. Thank you for being such a help to those of us walking in your path. I appreciate you.
Pray your surgery went well and you are recovering well…keep us posted
prayers for you
Just had the surgery and I'm glad I found your channel. ☺
Hey Mark I couldn't make it without you this really help me just had my surgery 3 days ago
Great video. Great information. You've been a great help in discussing things that I worry about and I'm sure others have as well.
Just had mine done last Mon 21 February 2022 bit sore get the carherter removed on March 4 two days before my birthday 72 hope to celábrate my 72 birthday with my twin brother on 6 March thanks for the vidios mark been a great help Richard England
Some things to point out. First, the time for regaining continence is basically an individual thing. This operation (robotic procedure) is pretty much standardized at this point as it is now going on 20 years. So any surgeon licensed and qualified to do the surgery will generally get the same results. Therefore don't fret if you are not completely continent right after surgery thinking that your surgeon screwed up. 95% of all men regain complete continence within 12 months. Some are completely continent immediately after removing the catheter and others take weeks or months.
Secondly, even if you gain continence in a short time wear the pads for at least 6 months after you gain continence. This is because you can go two or three months without having any leakage and all of a sudden one incident you get leakage. After you've gone about a year without leakage you're pretty much completely continent. Also the pads are not like diapers. It's not like you'll be wearing Pampers. The pads themselves are the size of an athletic cup. They cover only the penis area and that's it, so they're not that intrusive at all. And as you heal it's comforting knowing that if you do have a leakage accident you don't have to worry about your pants getting wet.
Third, when you do have leakage it will be just that, only 'leakage'. A few drops may come out. It's not like you'll be pissing like a racehorse inside the pads. Also take comfort in knowing that for the 5% who don't gain complete continence on their own there are additional treatments that will bring even them back to full continence. Medicine has advanced so far from many years ago. And most importantly, do the Kegel exercises regularly as instructed. They will help you restore your continence quicker.
Best and truest response. Very compassionately worded. Thanks.
Is anyone researching why some men remain incontinent after prostate surgery? Doctors say things like “it just kicks in” which is not medical language just voodoo.
@@artmaltman No research is being done, my urologist says. I Had the surgery a year ago and | am incontinent and impotent. Read any article about this type of surgery and it's all about the incontinence and impotence. I think it's far more than 5% that does not regain continence.
@@quintbont3629 I'm sorry to hear that. Has it gotten any better? Medication doesn't help the impotence?
@@kennethhudson4769 I tried Viagra, but my penis coloured a bit red and that was it. My nerves are damaged, right removed and left not maximal spared! After one year I could feel a bit of an orgasme again. Flacid of course.
I had my RP 8 days ago and had the catheter removed yesterday. So far so good with minimal leakage initially and totally dry overnight. Was concerned about the feeling that I had to pee every hour or so during the night. Watched this video again when I woke up and my experience was exactly the same as your 1st night Mark so it was encouraging to hear that I'm not unique and it should get better. So far my experience has been quite similar to what you outlined in your videos. Thanks again Mark for all your hard work in sharing your experience with us all. It truly made the experience so much easier.
Who was your doctor
I am also a patient of Dr Samadi who's surgery is scheduled in two weeks. I have full faith and confidence with Dr Samadi who showed a keen interest in my case and the ability to get everything right. At 73 years old my cancer was diagnosed at the early stage and looking for a positive outcome. Mark, your videos are great in providing confidence and easing anxiety. Thanks so much
Thanks for the encouragement, having Prostate removal in about a month.
Thank you very much Mark. Your video is very helpful and informative. I am truly grateful for sharing your personal experience. Peter
+Peter Shearer You are very welcome
Mark's Prostate Cancer Experience t
Well done Mark, and thanks.
Due in just over a month. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Had my prostatectomy a week ago. I am getting my catheter and JP drain removed tomorrow morning after exactly 7 days. Can’t wait! Thank you for letting me know what to expect afterward.👍
How did it go.
Thanks for the video. I have similar experience but more dribbley than yourself. No burning but the battle to hold urine back still goes on 10 days after surgery.
thanx Mark. my cath is in presently, & your vid is helping my cope with the discomfort. as with many things, knowledge IS power.
My biggest issue as well. Day 3, very uncomfortable. Any advice?
@@marks.3798 Hang in there. Keep yourself as distracted as you can manage. Get in touch with your "inner Klingon".
A decade back, I had Green Light Laser surgery that was very effective and only required catheter from Friday until Monday. Problems was, this is when I discovered my contact allergy to Latex! Needless to say, for the protestecomy they used a silicone catheter, and it has been MUCH better!
Thanks for the info,I had my prostate removed recently, catheter comes out in another week ,knowing what to expect is a bonus for me,so thank you and all the best in the future,also have you done a segment on catheter removal,thanks.
Also being in good physical condition helps in post surgery.....I too had surgery and came out on top...never incontinent and was having erections within five weeks....further treatment changed my sexual function but when it was over I regained it and have no trouble...sensations are stronger yet different from the passed yet I feel great and blessed in the end!...ps my surgeon was at Yale and was fantastic!
I'm 3 weeks post surgery,and have become a human fountain.
Thank you for the excellent information.
So how are you doing? Thinking about removal instead of radiation.
Very helpful, thanks much for this video.
Thanks soooo much.. Im having the Removal operation in acouple of months...It has been such a Life Changing Time...Im 64 and a Fit andHealth Life Long Ocean Lover/Surfer from Australia... Sure is a Worrying Time.. Again Thanks.
Very encouraging thank you
05/10/20 My husband had the Robotic surgery on May 1. The catheter was removed on May 7. He is comfortable & doing great. Thank you for this informative video.
Mrs. Carter. How is your husband doing today?
Great insight. Thank you.
Great Video series. You have inspired me to record my experiences as well. I had my surgery on Feb 6th and your videos have helped me with questions of my own. Thanks
thanks bro for this information
Thank you for a great video. I'm 6 days post operation (Robotic Prostatectomy) and I am due to have my catheter out on day 8 and must admit that it is my (current) biggest fear. Your video has helped me feel better about having the catheter out and, although I don't think I'll be as good you, it does give me confidence that I will eventually regain control. In addition, I have been a little like one of your other commentors, and had some bladder stress issues with the catheter. We'll see if this affects me after it is taken out.
+sethlyman10 Seth, I'm sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner. Why don't you come by our Facebook discussion group. We can give you any kind of tips or comments. facebook.com/groups/104156783410077/
Hi Mark, thanks for the response. Unfortunately I'm not on Facebook but I will endeavour to have a look at your pages via a friend. Your videos have brought me comfort even though I'm still fighting the stress incontinence and potency issues. That said, it is only day 19.
Day 13 after the surgery for me. I understand the set backs. I just fill like am peeing through a stir straw ! I pray that gets better. Anyone have or had this issue ?
Burns and painful.
Thanks for the info. Just got home from the hospital and waiting for the removal of the catheter week after next. Been working kegles for awhile.
It’s been said by a friend, who also had this procedure, that if you are in good mood mode, you won’t leak. But, if you hear bad news, the leakage returns, especially under coughing, sneezing, laughing and standing-up conditions. I had the Davinci robotic procedure two weeks ago and so far, leakage is frequent, but not excessive. All the best for you, sir.
Mark, Thanks for your feedback and shared experiences!
I did my prostatectomy 14 days ago and the catheter was removed on day 8. Since then I have incontinence issues with some days worse than other.
I can sleep through the night without any leakages and wake up and use the bathroom as normal but after that I start leaking and have wear my adult diaper for safety.
I know it's only 14 days but I feel as if I've made a lot of progress!
How are you doing now?
@@spitfirekid1 I'm doing much better 3 month later.
My PSA test returned a 1000 Litres a day to just under 100g within a inconvenience guard.
Mild ED which is being treated with Cialis and the use of a pump.
I grated for life even i know life has it was will never be the same.
Thanks Mark
I had a prostate removal by robotics I'm still incontinent since August 2019 pads depends and clamp also e d I'm using innovo but not working yet
thank you for the posting i go 11/21/22 you made it somewhat better knowing
So sad I don’t live in NY and neither my secondary insurance cover there or my financial status can fit it. I red about Dr Samadi and his honesty explaining his technique. No all surgeons are so open, many are prepotent and arrogant( unfortunately), don’t give you the chance of discuss or compare their technique with another specialist. But it is already done...
How many blood clots did you pass after having the catheter removed..?
My boyfriend has his surgery tomorrow 😢gave him a lot of antibiotics to take one day prior. What are you eating when you got home from hospital? Love your video
At NO time (in the UK), was I told by my GP, hospital doctors, nurses, or the surgeon, that I would (or May) suffer urinary incontinence AFTER prostate surgery. three months ago It came as a HUGE NASTY surprise, very UNwelcome. Now I am left to find a way of handling this gross inconvenience. Am I upset and angry?? YES!!!
Socialized medicine
I just had my cancer surgery done. I'm in same boat. No control. Do proper kegal exercises, vitamin b1 and nutritional yeast, and long walks. It can take up to 12 months for pelvic muscles to maybe control it. Should see improvement in a month. Study proper exercises on you tube fir leaks.
I did my prostatectomy 4 years ago. Since then I have had both ED and incontinence issues every day with some days much worse than others. But I am cancer free so there is that.
Thank you
Hi Mark, happy to hear that you are cancer Free. My boyfriend had his prostate removed 15 days ago, he is doing well, urination is almost normal. One concern I have is that he is going back to work (out of state) in the next three days and none of his pants fit. He has been walking and eating healthy, but it seems to me that his stomach is bloated, did you have to deal with that? And how did you handle it?
ybarnfield The first 30 days after surgery are the most critical. The body needs to heal, and there are all sorts of possible (temporary) side effects. Bloating can be caused by a number of factors, but the two most common are gas and inflammation, and often both. It should be temporary, but if he watches his diet, things could improve quickly. You may want to also come and visit my Facebook group, where you can chat with others. facebook.com/groups/104156783410077/
Thank you Mark for you prompt response. Your videos are really informative. Thank you.
The best fastest way to reduce inflammation is intermittent fasting. Eating only 4 hour window in a day. Eat 4 eggs and or salmon and salads and hamburger meat. Stay away from sugar, pasta, grains, junk food till inflammation is gone
I had my surgery June 21, 2023 18 days ago. My catheter was removed after one week from the surgery shortly after that I contracted infection in my urinary tract and then one of my testicles. I’m recovering very slowly. I can’t walk very much at all. If I exert myself the pain my infection flares up terribly I feel so since the surgery I developed a new hernia not fun.
Way to go dude! Thank you. I have surgery in 2 days Dec 7th 2022
Jeff how did your surgery go? I hope it turned out well. I haven't been given a date yet but I'm going to have surgery as well. I have to admit I'm a little scared.
@@kennethhudson4769 I have prostate cancer too, I'm not doing surgery I'm doing radiotherapy, i have 3 weeks left. Do you know the date now?
@@Youalreadyknowwww649 I haven't gotten an exact date yet. My Dr is gonna schedule me in January. Why did you opt for radiation? What is your age if you don't mind me asking?
I just finished prostate cancer surgery, and the catheter was removed 4 days ago. Zero control every 10 minutes 24 hours a day. Very depressed. I had an extremely large benign prostate, so pelvic floor muscle was never used and weak. Studied 3 different pelvic physiotherapists on youtube each had different approaches. I knew I had to get it right if I had any chance. Found penis clamp and good external catheter system if it ends up that. Yesterday, I finally saw the slightest improvement controlling. I'm level 4, no control. 3 control laying. 2. Control walking. 1 control standing up, sitting, lifting, bending, coughing. Now, some control laying down. Went through 20 diapers and 80 pads in 3 days. Vitamin b1 and 4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast are extremely important for 3 months. I pray I'm not stuck with a bag or clamp for the rest of my life driving a truck. Up to 12 months before pelvic muscle to maybe control it if exercise correctly. Say a prayer for me it's awful. Long walks and proper diet also extremely important. Only 1 cup of coffee or tea and before 3 pm. No water after 6 pm. Water and electrolytes during the day.
🙏🏽
Thank you for this! Had my prostatectomy yesterday and came home today. Only thing different with me is they didn't give me any gel for the end of my penis. Still can't stand up straight, everything hurts.
My biggest problem was dealing with that catheter. That constant feeling of having to urinate drove me nuts. It was like having to urinate and had having to hold it .
Mark
Just curious about the technique your surgeon use to do your procedure it’s seems that it help you out a lot just want to know why they won’t share this technique to help others to have a move successful and faster recovery and better chance that at life after the removal.
This is 2024 and I just made a comment to Mark to ask him the same question. I found that a new procedure is called the .... "Retzious Sparing" prostatectomy. I live in Florida and I discovered a urologist in Weston Florida at the Cleveland clinic who does this procedure. It takes approximately an hour more and they go in from ...Behind" rather from under the bladder. Protecting the vital area that messes with incontinence. It's a lot more difficult but a tremendously better outcome relating to incontinence!!!! I am debating either of that approach or proton therapy.
Hey Mark! I've got prostate cancer. In one section of prostate I have gleason 8 so I've scheduled a surgery. I've also had a pet/ct scan and there is no other cancer so I'm relieved. I'm looking at some other options at this point like radiation treatment. What was your decision process? I've been listening to prostate cancer research institute and they recommend radiation. Surgery is not encouraged.
Hey Rick, sorry about your diagnosis. I had a prostatectomy back in July, I'd definitely recommend a RALP over radiological because you could get secondary cancers. Think a lot depends on your age.
Best of luck mate 👍👍
Same boat, same question.
What made you choose surgery over radiation?
Recovery time wise and doctor was able to see more while going through the process. Robotics for me.
I would do it as a last option and can’t wait any longer. He is one of the lucky ones. Incontinence and other issues is very possible. No guarantees. But good info
What do you mean last option? You're talking about radiation instead? I am debating proton therapy or prostectomy. I discovered a new procedure called "Retzious Sparing". Only a handful of doctors perform this procedure.
I’m scheduled for the surgery next month at OHSU and was wondering how your love life after recovery?
How are you doing after surgery? All is well, I hope.
@@kennethhudson4769 I still have many questions as to wether I should of had the surgery, having said that, my urinating track works good, I urinate more when it’s cold and I do leak when I lift heavy objects but overall all it all works normal.
@@jorgehavana1 I'm glad you're getting back to normal. My fear is that I lose all my ability to perform sexually..
Hi Mark, my second message to you. Had the surgery on the 2nd of August, and I’m having the catheter removed on the 14th.
I must say I’m a little nervous about my first night and there after. I guess I’m going to wear dippers for the first week just in case. I hope also my functions return as fast as yours, and others who have committed on here. Needless to say it will be one day at a time.
I’m more worried about my biology results to be honest. I think its also something people should be asking the doctor about. When they return to have the catheter taken out. The results should be in by then.
Best,
Good advert
my op is on Tuesday...appreciate the real life insight...thanks.
How did the surgery go? How are you adjusting to life now?
At +10 weeks. All signs of the cancer gone PSA at 8 weeks was 0. So far so good. Off the pads at +19 days. 100% continence restored. Still working on other aspects of rehab. Just need to establish a new daily routine .. will be a long journey but its not too overwhelming at the moment. Seems like i have a lot more energy now the body is not fighting the cancer. Sleeping better etc. So yes, a positive experience so far 👍🏻
@@MrSteamDragon That is great to hear. I'm 2 months out of surgery but I still have incontinence. Sometimes I think I have it under control but then I have that leak while I'm standing. Did you do anything special to alleviate that problem? I purchased a pump for the ED and it works for the most part. I also am investing in injections for the time being until I get over the problem. I hope to get over the problem.
@@kennethhudson4769 Pre-op my physio gave me a strict program of pelvic floor exercises - I stuck to these 3x per day for 6 weeks prior to the op. She believes that helped. I had no leakage at all as the catheter was removed @ +7 days. Wore pull-ups to sleep for about 9 days but moisture content in the AM was mainly usual sweat. Swapped to pads at night till +19. Try to take note of when you normally drip/leak, what were you doing at the time etc. Then try to anticipate this when you can and squeeze out a kegel to ward off the leak. It's hard to get this synchronised at first but with practice it did work for me. This can take time, just keep at it - don't get impatient - it will improve over time.
Forget to mention earlier - I had pretty severe perineal pain for 7-8 weeks post op. Taking painkillers and Celebrex was/is managing this - but still annoying. It is starting to improve now and surgeon suggests after 12 weeks it should be mostly gone.
At 10 weeks (tomorrow), still get the very occasional drip at odd times, so I wear washable undies when going out, mainly for peace of mind really. Re the pump, yes the usual post-op rehab regimen with 5mg Cialis every day. We find this works at the moment. Will see how things progress for now before embarking on something else.
@@MrSteamDragon thanks for the feedback. I do kegels throughout the day. My control has improved but I have a ways to go. Before surgery I always concentrated on stopping my urine flow. Getting my continence back would be a major plus in this ordeal. I'm glad you conquered that hurdle. You give me hope that I can do it as well. THANKS!!
Mark, thank you for sharing your experience. Three days after my robotic surgery (which was done on the 03/23/2017) with the catheter placed I started to get a discharge. I now have a bladder and urinary tract infection. The pain is not pleasant and the constant feel of having a full bladder is not good. I cant understand why I wasn't given antibiotics until a few days ago. My surgeon is one of the best in the UK and I was treated at Christie's. The surgery was a great success. My main issue has been with the catheter. I was in recovery for three hours because of it as I felt like my bladder was going to burst even though it was empty. Oh, and lets not mention the wind pain!
Michael-Alan Taylor I just finished my antibiotic course (cipro for 8 days)luckily with only minor side effect, but still feel the burning urinating and now it starts with a little blood drops,not sure why!
I had the green laser surgery for bhp
That's normal. I know that I didn't want to hear that either. It's normal to think you have a infection or you got to poop, but taking stool softeners or exlaxs can make matters worse. Softeners are ok but, remember that pressure comes from the surgery. After my catheter removed I felt 65% better.
I wish I saw all of your videos before my surgery. I am doing great 4 weeks out! No inconsistence. My results are similar to yours. Now I am working on my sexual functions. Any advance?
Hey Mark, are you still there?😊
Had mine removed instead of opting for active surveillance. Why roll the dice with cancer?
Well I am 66 with Stage T1C and have opted for active surveillance. My Urologist explained radiation, radical prostatectomy and active surveillance. We discussed the pros and cons over about 20 minutes. I chose AS because we caught it very early. If it gets worse I will do radiation before surgery. Each of us has to make our own decisions. Best of luck to you and best of health!
Same here! I don’t like taking chances. Take it out! Now I’m fine!
@Philzer Edwards how is your quality of life?
What was you Gleason score? Do you have leakage now?
@@dickmagee4887 it was 6. Having the prostate removed whilecit was isolated gave me peace of mind. Three years later cancer free and anxiety free. I didnt want surveillance repeat biopsies and worrying about the
Outcome each time. Its over...
Mark, you omitted the most important part, the erection. How is that going?
It's depressing to hear testimonials of people who have little to no incontinence right after surgery. My catheter was removed 15 days ago, and I still have no control over the it. My brain does not get any signal that my bladder is full. It is better at night when I am in bed mainly, I believe, because I am horizontal, and gravity is not working against me. I am okay sitting but the moment I get up and walk I can feel my urine running out of me. I have to change my Depends several times during the day. I am hoping that time will fix this. My gas bloating is gone but I still have swelling in the padded area above my penis. This too will take whatever my body needs post op. My only real pain has been on the right side where one of my lymph nodes were removed. This is most likely nerve pain that will improve in time. I am 68 and my Gleason rating was an 8 out of 10. The cancer was contained to the prostate and no post op sign of spread but it was an aggressive form of tumor that took up about 60% of the prostate gland. It is obvious that men having this surgery in their 50s have a better and faster result than those 10 or 20 years older.
Oh, Thank you for telling me how Perfect your experience is. I for One have every issue with constant urination - nonstop. As much as I try and have practiced the exercises. I am unfortunately going thru 4-6 Pads a Day and Minimum of 2 Pull Up's. But knowing that everything is Hunky Dory for you is just so special (Not). My Surgery was with the Davinci Robot, same for you?
I Had the surgery a year ago and | am incontinent and impotent. Read any article about this type of surgery and it's all about the incontinence and impotence. I think it's far more than 5% that does not regain continence. No research is being done, my urologist says.
I'm in same boat. No control. 20 diapers and 80 pads in 3 days. Just started slightest improvement today. Do proper kegal exercises for leaks. Vitamin b1 and 4 table spoons nutritional yeast for 3 months. Long walks. Best of luck to both of us.
@@andrewemery7459you say do kegel exercises but why? You have been doing them with no results! I don't get it. I just wonder if it really does matter if you do them or not.
Mark how old were you when you got diagnosed?
ED ?
Don't forget there is pelvic floor physical therapy before and after surgery!! It should be an integral part of your recovery!
What is your surgeons name? lol Will my blue cross cover it? Maybe money cannot buy happiness! But, It damn sure can buy life!
Had my catheter out 2 days ago...first night got up twice and pee with normal control...I where a pad and have had a couple of spurts when I cough or laugh...nothing major...I just felt a little sting at tip of penis so I'll put some neosporin on incase of minor irritation from pad...but I'm happy to say I have normal control and things should only get better..so take it easy first 2 weeks and concentrate on normal control...as far as bowl movements a stool softener helps so you shouldn't have to force anthing...
.
Do you still have problem with incontinence?
Catheter came out on day 7, Not a issue, Urine was still raspberry color, went thru about 6 diapers and 9 pads, Had a small stream off and on, couldn’t control
Pelvic area still gets a cramping pain every couple hours
Stomach incisions healing well
Very bruised on sides, stomach bloated
Every time I’m push gas out, I urinate
Pads, diapers gonna be expensive at this rate
Day by day I guess
Yes mate, one day at a time is all you can do. every one of us has a slightly different experience. Yeah my stomach was very bloated for weeks - looking ok now. Don't lose sight that time itself is a great healer Stick to your post-op rehab, make sure you get plenty of rest (on ya back looking at the ceiling type of rest. 😀) and you will see improvements in time.
Everything said, I basically have had OPPOSITE. NO burning, and CANT urinate… BACK on flow max…. Did not have urinary bleeding, or ANY PAIN…
I must wear diapers now and its been 15 years
I had my prostate surgery May 10, 2024
A great thing to use after any procedure down there is a product called Man1 Man Oil. It is loaded with vitamins, nutrients and anti-oxidants that will ward-off infection, moisturize the skin and generally just speed up the recovery process. It is a very helpful product, guys. Easy to use and all-natural too.
What a joke. He was very lucky and I don't believe his results are typical. It's almost three months since my surgery and I am still incontinent. I started out with constant leaking; there is just no stopping it. I am seeing a pelvic floor therapist and am finally seeing some results. But there is no strong stream. I'm always dribbling or there is an uncontrollable spray, so standing to urinate (when I go to change my adult pull-up) is very difficult. Everyone says I should be patient, and I'm really trying. It is all so discouraging...
im 24 and having that prostatitis im living in some what of hell i really want to just remove the fucking thing
Your experience is unique to you. I just had my jewel trimmed down. It was a big one. Quit bragging about your control. Everyone will have their own experience. Thank you for talking about the sphincter muscles. My dear friend Spanky suffered over 10 years. His cancer left the prostate to invade his body.i still have my prostate and it is a difficult recovery. Surgery occurred 6/15/2022 First erection Tuesday of this week. Today I had to leave my girlfriend in a hurry due to urinary pisselence. I think it's funny but I will be satisfied when I have total power. I pray for all of you . BE COOL🐬 Blade Nunez President and Founder of Surf Kings
CAPS 2 C, NOT SHOUTING… FIRST THIS IS A VERY OLD POSTING 2015, AND MARK DOES NOT SAY HOW HIS OBLATION WAS DONE…
I agree 100%! But I think he had the new procedure called the...."Retzious Sparing" prosectomy. Only a few doctors do this procedure. They go in from behind! Not from the front! I found a doctor in Weston Florida at the Cleveland clinic does this procedure. This is currently 2024.
Mark, glad you and your surgeon had a positive outcome but please stop posting false hope and blanket statements that do not apply to all men! Every surgery is different. Every man's body is different. Every surgeon is different. Every man has a different level of health. Each of your videos present your surgery and recovery, continence, sexual function, etc as if it will be the same for all men. IT IS NOT.
While I truly appreciate you trying to get information out to men who are facing the decision of having surgery, vs radiation, vs seed implants, etc, and I feel that you are trying to help other men with your positive attitude, I think it is dangerous to make such blanket statements to all men. Yes, share your experience. Tell us what you did and how it worked for you. But don't tell men to not worry, that they will have full sexual function, they will pee normally, etc. It simply. is not the same for all men. Perhaps you should create a "Mark's Cancer Experience Forum" instead where men can ask each other questions and share their struggles and victories so that ALL stories are told and people are not relying on you as some sort of authority to get their hopes up, only to be gravely disappointed.
Lastly, great that you are happy with Dr David Samadi. Not everyone has the means of traveling across the country to choose one specific surgeon. Insurance (or lack of), reserved funds to self-fund, etc are all obstacles. Finding a surgeon who is experienced and has a good track record is great advice, but to recommend one specific surgeon on CZcams seems insensitive to those who don't have that option.
Thank you,
Paul
Very well stated. I had surgery for prostrate cancer myself about 3 years ago.
I think he is just sharing. It ia nice that he is doing that. It is just knowledge of what is possible, not probable fir everyone. Don't be jerks.
Paul I agree . I am 2 weeks since catheter removed and I have leakage, still wearing pads, but I hopefully will regain control . I too had an excellent surgeon, I am reasonably fit and still doing exercises .
Thank you Mark for your video , you just need to mention that your outcome will not be the same for every bloke.

Mark gave me false hope. I pee a river while walking after 20 weeks. Working with an excellent PT doing kegels in a variety of positions. Mark gave me false hope.
Hello Art,
I’m sorry that you are faced with this challenge, but I’m glad you’re still working with it (at least you can still walk, right?) There’s always a bright side when you look for it!
Since my robotic prostate cancer surgery, I’ve had an incisional hernia repair with mesh (that failed), and a second hernia surgery to repair it, with deeper mesh (that is also failing. I’m told by my doctor that the more it is repaired, the higher the chance it will fail. So I’ve decided to live with it! But I can still walk!
Getting older comes without a warranty, so I just focus on enjoying the things I AM able to do, and accept the things I cannot.
Hang in there, and take what you find on the internet with a grain of salt!
Господи, я не знаю, о чем вы говорите?! Но, вы мне так нравитесь. Я из России!!!
Парень рассказывает как он перестал писать под себя после удаления простаты при диагностики рака
У него есть целая серия про восстановление после операции , помогает морально до и после операции

Dude… you don’t know what anyone else will experience in terms of incontinence after surgery. Quit patting yourself on the back and shut up. Geese.
Were you born a jerk?
