thankful for all of you, only here could I ask this question with those that can relate

Hello all,

Thank goodness for this forum...I have no one else to ask for help on this particular subject.

One month from surgery and 16 days since cath removed. I feel fortunate that I do not need a pad or diaper for daily or sleeping use at this time. I keep a kleenex tucked just in case there is a dribble or two. I am not doing a lot of physical activity on doctors orders.

I have been trying to remember to do kegels.

Had a couple of surprises though....had a few drinks on Saturday (I know dumb....had company by the pool....I was thirsty too) and felt wet on my leg....now know I need to remember to pee more often! That has not happened since. (learning)

Got up one morning very gassy and was letting them go on the way down the stairs....wont do that again. That has also not happened since. (learning)

So, trying to get things started to work on the ED area which has had some surprises as well. I understand not to have high expectations at this early stage since surgery. (not included my wife yet....want to make sure I know what to expect and have some confidence...learning). It seems that activity is recommended as soon as possible after 4 weeks.

So.....No erection to speak of but first orgasm was very enjoyable and uneventful. I am using daily cialis for the last 12 days and have not used a full dose yet.

A few days later second orgasm, same feeling, a couple of drips of urine.

Most recent orgasm, more intense and very minor length created but I ejaculated urine, seemed like a river and I was in shock but likely would have wet less than a full kleenex....I did urinate before to try to empty my bladder.

Is it fluid intake, erection, kegels or just time that effects this reaction.....

Any guidance and related experiences in this area would be very much appreciated.


Thanks in advance...

time, wait, heal. You've had major surgery and one month is just starting the process.

Walking, kegels, learning how your new body will respond. You're doing well so far.

ED can take months.

You're doing well so far,
Andrew

Been mostly continent myself since surgery. Erections working well now with Viagra.

What Andrew said. It takes a little getting to know the ol bod after a RALP. I had a little squirt during my first orgasm after my stricture work a month ago (Id bet that squirtng will stop. You're muscles are still trying to figure this out themselves is my oponion. Its not long since they were so rudely awakened)

At the gym...Some machines and positions can let what feels to be a little leak out from time to time. (It's still not enough that a pad is been required)....just kinda suprising. My pants show no moisture but you'll find me checking to see. Today I wore a pad just in case and just for hygiene's sake. No more checking with a pad. Weights are getting heftier as well.

I still haven't been with a woman yet. That should be interesting to compare "now" to "prior". (Hopefully we'll see soon !)

You're just getting started. I think you'll be fine...but...

mewtopc,
The clinical term is "climacturia". It is not uncommon after prostate surgery but should improve with time and exercise.
If it does not go away, there are minor surgical options that help. I had a sling placed and no longer have that problem.

be well.
