I had a radical prostatectomy 18 months ago, followed by salvage radiation that ended 11 months ago. I recovered my continence well within 6 months of the surgery, most of the time having much less than an ounce of leakage per day. The radiologist warned me that the treatments “wouldn’t help.” The leakage did get worse, averaging 1.5 ounces per day from August through late November last year. Then, the spigot turned on. I’m hitting 20 or more ounces per day now.
One doctor told me that I simply was not a good candidate for the pelvic sling due to my radiation treatments. I’d like to hear from anyone who had radiation, and then the sling. I’m considering the sling, AUS, or urethral bulking. I need something to stop the flood.
