Patient's question:
Feeling very uncomfortable in the private area, that feeling can't be described, it affects work and life very much, it's very annoying. Please ask, after the surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia, incontinence of urine, what is this situation? A sequelae?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent incontinence for a period after prostate surgery is normal and usually temporary, gradually improving over time. Some patients may experience temporary incontinence again after prostate surgery because the procedure inevitably destroys the function of the bladder neck sphincter. If the external sphincter remains intact, incontinence may not recur. However, if the external sphincter is damaged, incontinence symptoms may reappear, typically temporarily, with recovery usually occurring within 3-6 months. During this period, active pelvic floor muscle tightening exercises, such as Kegel exercises, can be performed.
