Patient's question:
I have had transurethral resection of the prostate for two months, but my incontinence has not improved. Is there any treatment available?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your condition is a complication after prostate surgery, which requires gradual recovery. Treatment typically involves simple behavioral modifications for the patient. Many patients regain bladder control through behavioral adjustment techniques, such as regular urination every 2-3 hours and maintaining relative bladder emptying. Avoid bladder irritants, such as caffeine-containing beverages and excessive fluid intake, to prevent urine concentration from stimulating the bladder. These methods are helpful for treatment. Discontinue medications that are not beneficial to bladder function. You may also try the following special therapies. If incontinence cannot be fully controlled through special therapies, specially designed incontinence pads and underwear can protect the skin and keep the patient dry, comfortable, and socially active. These measures are unobtrusive and easy to implement.
