what happens if the prostate is removed
Leaking Urine After Prostate Surgery. Incontinence is a very common problem for men after having prostate surgery and occurs after your catheter (which drains the bladder continuously) is removed. There are different types of incontinence. Stress incontinence happens when pressure on the bladder is increased, such as when you sneeze, cough, or lift something heavy. This is the most common type of incontinence after surgery. Urge incontinence happens when the urge to urinate is accompanied by urination.
