Prostate Health & Post-Surgery Incontinence:

What to Know and Next Steps

Prostate-related conditions encompass disorders that affect the prostate gland, often leading to urinary difficulties, discomfort, or other complications due to changes in the gland’s size, function, or health.

Prostate-related conditions—whether benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, or post-surgical recovery—frequently impact urinary control and bladder function. Experiencing temporary or ongoing leakage post-TURP or prostatectomy is a normal part of the healing journey, but managing it effectively starts with choosing the right support.

​

How to Manage Your Symptoms & Take Action:

​

  1. Assess Your Leakage Volume: Determine whether you are experiencing light post-void dripping or moderate-to-heavy urinary flow to select the proper absorbent or collection solution.

  2. Transition from Indwelling Catheters Safely: If you are transitioning out of a Foley catheter after prostate surgery, switch to skin-safe, non-invasive protection like a condom catheter for incontinence for men to prevent irritation and maintain daily comfort.

  3. Protect Your Daily Routine & Rest: Use discrete pads for men during active daylight hours, and consider overnight collection setups like condom catheters for men overnight to ensure undisturbed sleep and prevent leaks.

  4. Consult Your Specialist: Combine proper incontinence care products with pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) and guidance from your urologist to support long-term bladder rehabilitation.
