PROACT surgery

[stryder]

Anyone had PROACT surgery for continuing incontinence post prostatectomy?

Yes I had it a year ago.

went from 75% dry to 98.5% dry.

game changer for sure. I wear a very small pad and once in a while out of no where I feel a drop or two come down. But extremely pleased

Recovery a bit difficult since I could not exercise for 6 weeks post op and the tubes in the scrotum hurt once in a while

Thanks I’m 78 had RP 6 years ago very active (8 hrs/wk) weight machines, power vinyasa yoga, and jack hammering holes into desert concrete-like earth to xeriscape on off days. Was doing well with 1-2/pads/day until about 6 months ago when went up sharply 3-5/day with same activities. Getting very wet, of course especially when active - which I usually am. Had lessened kegels over past year or so. So my 5th urologist’s PA said to resume kegels and in 4 months return to consider PROACT, which I asked about as AUS & Sling seemed to present more problems than worth.

Didn’t know about 6 weeks of sedentary - a real drag to me. Were you still able to power walk? Do you still suffer scrotum discomfort, did you/do you still have to have balloons adjusted, any additional effects upon ED?

Appreciated

what is PROACT surgery ?

[stryder in reply to Puckcancer]

PROACT is an incontinence surgery following RadicalP if leakage is problem as alternative to Sling or AUS. Less invasive, quicker recovery, cheaper and easily adjusted as necessary. Google it!
