Thank you for your kind response. I have an appointment with a Electrophysiologist in 2 weeks. Hopefully he can solve this....
I currently experience Afib with tachycardia a few times per week. Each episode lasts approximately 20 -40 minutes. Heart rate reaches 172 bpm with Afib. I’m taking Eliquis & Diltiazem ER daily with...
Just received my 8 week post surgery PSA test results. Results PSA <0.008! I couldn’t be any happier. This whole process has gone fantastically! No incontinence issues 4 weeks after surgery. This...
For those considering RPP and are as worried about incontinence as I was, there is hope. Following the foley removal I had very little leakage. At 7 weeks post RPP I am now completely continent. No...
Have you tried the shields? Relative to a pad, a shield is miniscule, but it works for your current state.[/quote] Thank you! I try them....
It’s been 3 weeks since my Radical Prostate removal. I’m very happy with the level of my incontinence. The only leakage I’m experiencing is when I laugh or strain when I’m not prepared. I usually...
Doctor yesterday said to watch and monitor it. He didn’t see anything to worry about. He said that after a major surgery like the radical prostate removal it is not uncommon to have pains or even...
It happens predominantly after I have been reclining. I don’t notice it after driving or sitting in a restaurant. I thought maybe I wasn’t walking enough and I was getting backed up. I drank prune...
Those were my thoughts. It’s weird that only happens after I’ve been sitting in my recliner for 30 mins or so....
About 10 days after surgery I started experiencing a severe cramping type pain in my lower left abdominal area after sitting. The pain lasts for a minute then goes away. I’m going for a post op...
Had my RP on Monday. Came home from hospital after one day. Drinking lots of water and waiting for the stool softeners to work. Still nothing but air. At least there’s movement. General pain in the...

I’m 65. My radical prostatectomy is scheduled for 03/28. Not looking forward to it. The surgery is not my concern but the post surgery issues are. Not looking forward to the incontinence possibly. My...
It’s time for me to decide which way to attack my prostate cancer. My urologist’s recommendation is for robotic surgery however I would like to avoid some of the incontinence that comes with that...
I am 64 years old and up to 3 years ago I had to take the Pepcid or the latest heartburn medicine of the day. I took medication since I was 18 yrs. If I didn’t take it around 5pm each day I would...
Thanks Jim! My PSA in 2019 was 4.5 vs. the recent 5.0. My URO & PCP both said with my 62.9 PHI there was a 30% of cancer but in all of the article I’ve read state that a PHI of 62.9 it’s > 50.1%. I...
Hello, I’m reaching out because my Urologist is very poor at explaining results and my Primary Care Physician lacks a clear understanding of the PHI test. A little about myself. 63 yrs. my father had...
