Increasing incontinence following SR

User
Posted 30 Jan 2025 at 14:25

I had a radical prostatecomy in May 2022.  After a rising PSA, I had salvage radiotherapy in Sept 2024. Recovery, in terms of ED was very good and incontinence. However, now, 4 months after SR, I have increasing incontinence and bowel irritation. Is this unusual or to be expected? I was under the impression that incontinence would steadily improve along with bowel recovery

I think the answer is, it varies person to person. My bladder issues started a few months after SRT my bowels did take a long time to settle down ,but once they did I was more regular than pre treatment.

Our radiology has a late effects team ,it may be worth seeing if yours has one.

Thanks Chris
