Anyone on here with any experience of surgery or further medical intervention for incontinence post RARP please?
Steve had RARP in January and although a 20% improvement …he is pretty much incontinent still! Not yet signed off from surgeon because of this, his take on it is if it hasn’t got any better within 12 month post surgery, (that’s only a couple of months away) then that’s it, it’s not going to happen and they are talking of investigations/possibly surgical intervention.
There is a suggestion from the surgeon that it may not be down to weak pelvic floors but due to the difficulty he had in reconnecting the urethra to the bladder…they won’t know until they investigate but something’s not right.
we have just come across the Emsella Chair pelvic floor treatment and are paying privately for Steve to give this a go for a few sessions to see if any improvements can be made. Had his first one yesterday so we will see, apparently it works very well for women’s pelvic floors so we thought if that is the problem, it could help, also we would have tried everything possible to us before giving in to more surgical intervention!
