Patient's question:
I had my prostate removed last December, and it has been a year now. Besides urine leakage, I still experience leakage when coughing, standing, and doing light household chores. It is particularly severe in the afternoon before getting into bed. I would like to ask the doctor what I can do to prevent urine leakage?Doctor's answer:
Considering stress incontinence caused by relaxation of pelvic floor muscle tissue, it is first important to pay attention to drinking plenty of water and urinating frequently to prevent holding urine, as well as preventing the spread of infection. Secondly, it is necessary to avoid conditions that reduce abdominal pressure, such as constipation. Prostate disease is not easily resolved. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating the disease and believe that recovery is certain.
