Incontinence recovery time scale experiences

Thank you for that - and its very helpful. My sense is that I will do as you said, use pads and I should be OK. I'm on aisle seats all the way and I have no problems sitting or sleeping - the challenge is just when I get up. The top half of my penis is still quite sensitive and the idea of putting a clamp on it does not appeal.

Hi all

I am 11 weeks post surgery and have been virtually dry for 2 weeks. I don't wear pads anymore, but still have the odd dribble. I went back to the gym 3 weeks ago and that is a hit and miss affair. If I run on the treadmill I do leak, so I am mostly just walking fast at the max incline and I can manage that. I also went back to my volunteer role at the NHS last week. So slowly, I am returning to normal.

I wish you all well on your recovery

Hello, I wish you a speedy recovery! As for this treadmill - you can just walk so that your body gets used to such a load. Sometimes walking can be even more beneficial than running. You mentioned that you use incline and that's already great. Good luck!

Regarding leaking when you get up when I was at that stage (and still occasionally 7years later) "pre bracing" before getting up by doing an extra hard pelvic floor helped.
