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