After a radical prostatectomy in 2000 at age 61 I had Radiation the following year since my PSA started to rise. In 2009, after increased incontinence, I had a sling implanted which lasted until 2014. It was then that I had an AUS implanted and my problems were solved until this past April, 7 years later, I began having burning & bleeding when urinating. After 2 cystoscopies it was determined that the cuff area had eroded and the AUS had to be ex-planted. This surgery was done in June and I am still healing and will have a cystoscopy in September to determine if I am ready for a new implant. I’m looking forward to getting my life back to normal since the AUS had made it so.
