So,after the < 0.01 PSA, I am very happy, of course, now waiting for the next one. I am seeing a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. Wish I could have been referred sooner. I am actually seeing some improvement in the incontinence area. It was odd because the changes are subtle,and then you realize you walked to the bathroom and still need to go instead of needing to change the depends. As my therapist said, its like potty training for adults, the same things apply as they do for kids. I went and had a cystoscopy and watched the video feed. Everything looked good although I must admit to not really understanding most of it. No signs of infection or irritations so one less thing to worry about. I got to watch the sphincter as I did some Kegels. The Dr said it looked really good and was closing properly. I though it reminded me of a axolotle, going from open to a smiley face when closed. Slowly, the UTI feeling is going away, of course, some came back after the procedure but I expected that. Like a lot of brits, not circumcised, and I think because of the urine in the depends, the skin on the outside of the foreskin has a tendency to get cracked from being damp a lot and boy does that sting. The Dr also noted what I had seen that the foreskin was reattaching to the head of the penis, but he just noted it and didn't say whether it was normal or not. The problem with it is the VED causes it to tear some when using it.
Overall, pleased with the progress, slower than I would like, but very grateful when reading some of the other stories here. Good to have you all here too be with.
