Bladder control
Question for those who have undergone prostatectomy: My surgery was 20 months ago and I'm overall very happy with the results; at least as happy as one might be having been diagnosed with cancer. My sexual functioning has returned to about 80% pre-surgery and continues to improve. Daily 5mg Cialis

Will the need to pee five or six times per night ever end?
I’m nearby five years out from removal of my prostate—Gleason 9. It got to the margin in one area where I was a Gleason six. Fortunately, no mets. I had 42 follow-up radiation treatments which ended about nine months after the prostatectomy. I suffered terrible urinary leakage for two years, soaking

PSA tests--Total vs. Ultrasensitive after radical prostatectomy
It has been ten years since I had a
radical
prostatectomy
(with negative margins). At my surgeon's suggestion, I have had yearly "total" PSA tests since then but not since 2019 so I'm overdue.

My experience with medically prescribed vaping for RLS
I have had RLS since my 20's and I am now 72. I have avoided taking dopamine agonists and other RLS medications for fear of augmentation. My chosen path is an anti-inflammatory diet, supplements, healthy lifestyle and so far I do manage to live a reasonable life. In the past 2 years I have embraced
