I agree with Southern Comfort. Sounds like you are dealing with overactive bladder, in addition to the urgency incontinence. I am about 4 months post-op. I started out 1-2 pads per day and had an...
I think you've gotten your answers, but thought I'd throw in my experience. I've had only one REALLY intense orgasm post-op (4 mos now), and it was while standing. I noticed that I had some extra...
Also, Charles, there is a bunch of information on vibratory stimulation for men with SCI. http://www.nature.com/sc/journal/v28/n2/abs/sc199012a.html...
VERY timely... I'm not sure if you would consider a permanent electrode implant, but while I was looking through the patent info above, I also noted another patent for electrostimulation for...
Without much more detail.... I was wondering if you used just the TENS or did you try EMS also (electromuscle stimulation)? I did a lot more research after you posted this. The EMS units are what...
Also-- I didn't see anyone mention this, but I also bought a pack of blue mattress "underpads" (they are cottony on one side and thin blue plastic on the other). They are used frequently in doctors...
BIG fan of the Walgreen's Certainty guards! And that sale is GREAT right now. I cleared out their rack a couple days ago. Post surgery, my wife unknowingly bought me a TENA or Depends overnight pad...
Thanks for the feedback, RPN. I was pushing 220lbs in Feb 2011. That's the most I've ever carried on me. I dropped back to my more usual 212-215 within a couple weeks.... then when I got my PSA scare...
[edit-- I see from other threads that Jeff has been working the TENS angle for a while. Maybe this will be interesting to others] TENS units have been used in collection for many years (for men as...
Update on my progress: In Feb I had my 3-month visit w/PSA check. Uro was VERY surprised to hear I was ~8 pads/day. I asked him about my hypothesis re: the VED. He said it's possible that it put some...
Info and form/etc is on Cialis' website... in case anyone wants to fill out the information ahead of time and give it to the pharmacist. Works even better if you normally work with pharm techs at...
Dribbles-- I noted you mentioned you had a couple bouts of UTIs. I started a decline in my early continence (1-2 pads/day up to 8 pads/day) when I got a UTI. I've had a history of UTIs prior, so I...
After wearing boxers for the last 20 yrs, I was not so happy moving to briefs (the boys need room)... but I went to briefs while in the doc's office for cath removal. As it turns out, I had bought a...
Thanks for the feedback. When I came in at 2 wks post-catheter and told him I was at 1-2 pads, he said sounds like it's time! Maybe it wasn't. :/...
Yep. I've seen more aggressive regimens prescribed on the Internet, so at first I was ready, willing, and (I thought) able to get this Cialis and VED thing started. We'll see!...
Thanks, David. I'm went in for the "UTI that may not have been a UTI, due to the negative culture"... it was a nurse visit only, due to unavailable URO at short notice. My next appt is Feb 15. I'm a...
yep... no problems there. yep... no problems there. I've been watching the caffeine and of course alcohol... No changes in their use though between the low-pad periods and these high-pad periods. I...
I wanted to see if any others have experienced this or have possibly correlated the two issues... Sorry... long thread. [b]The Summary: Looking for anyone who may have experienced increased...
Just to add a little more to what has already been said-- A [u]radical prostatectomy involves the removal of the entire prostate, the seminal vesicles, and [i]usually a large portion of the vas...
Good to hear this isn't unheard of... been lurking here on-and-off for months since my diagnosis back in Aug. I had my LARP on 11/21/11. For several years, I complained off and on (about 5-6 times a...
