Yes, that is how it happened to me, and my urologist said it is common....
I had exactly the same pain and it disappeared for two weeks after prostatectomy. Unfortunately it recurred and eventually required facet surgery. Maybe it has something to do with the stretching of...
Many people worry about impotence most before surgery. However, it is the incontinence that is most people's main concern afterwards. It is much more limiting, and there are fewer options. That being...
With all due respect, while bad nutrition hinders the body in lots of ways, the diet proposed would have little to do with prognosis. Even being a "fighter" has little to do with live expectancy,...

I am a surgeon but not a urologist and had a laparoscopic prostectomy about a month ago. I am dry at night but have to go quickly to the bathroom 5 times or so nightly. I have almost no bladder...
