Now That It's Over

As I posted above, the debate is misleading. If a man's leaking is down to the surgery moving his sphincter, the bladder valves, the cut and now healing muscles, etc then PFEs will help those muscles to relearn their job. If the leaking is due to serious damage to the bladder or the urethral function then no amount of exercising or tensing is going to cure it - only surgery, sheaths or permanent catheterisation will help. Be thankful that your surgeon didn't do you any permanent damage but please don't imply that others left with devastating incontinence are just 'not doing the exercises'.
