There are two types of incontinence stress and urge. Stress incontinence can be described as the loss of urine with straining , coughing, lifting etc. Urge incontinence occurs when patients cannot delay urination. Often they can t reach the bathroom in time. After radical prostatectomy both can occur.
Incontinence improves somewhat over time after surgery.
By one year, the level of incontinence you experience is most likely the final result. This means that up to one year things are changing and improving. If you have persistent incontinence, there are several options. The Cunningham clamp for the penis is one option. This allows control of urine and is relatively neat.
