Hi,


Started light running 2 months after op and have the overwhelming urge to pee when i begin and was wondering if anyone else had similar and if there's anything I can do....


Age 55


Thanks

Hi BL


I had the same experience at around 3 months post op. Was leaking like a sieve, so I gave up on the idea.


I am now 7months post op and have just started again. Still leaking a fair bit whilst running, but not as badly as the first time I tried. I'm hoping it will improve. For now I'm restricted to the treadmill, but it would be great to get back out in the open!

Thanks for that. I guess time is the healer…

Hi there, I had RALP surgery in August of last year and, at first, found it difficult to do two things at once - walk/run or pee. I'd been doing Parkruns and up to marathons for many years so found this a pain. But, your right, time and consistent Kegel exercises did pay off and I do full on training every week with a group and still do my Parkrun. I'm looking to test myself on a 10k later. I still dribble a bit on the way round but nothing serious to worry about.


My times aren't what they were but that's age not anything else. Above all, it's great to get out.


Good Luck
