If physical therapy hasn’t helped, you may wish to consider an artificial urinary sphincter. The surgery is straightforward (if a bit painful), and the device easy to use. I’ve had one over two years now. Happy with result.

I suppose you have already tried the Kegel exercises, but there may be some benefit of doing them anyway:

Not a problem. After brachytherapy and an LRP, I decided I did not want any more surgical interventions "down there". I had been through enough trauma, and been left in enough discomfort, as it was. So, DribbleStop proved my godsend. I have been wearing it since 2015, without any issues.

The sphincter sounds good but there is also a sling...Google Dr Zafir Kahn and ask him.

He knows most of these alternatives.
