Prostate Surgery Incontinence

Prostate surgery incontinence is a very embarrassing problem one can have. Incontinence can be defined in simple terms as the inability to stop urine from leaking out of the body due to the lack of control on the urinary bladder. It's a surprising fact that this is a common problem and even more so that though this is a very uncomfortable and disconcerting issue very few people suffering from this are ever willing to seek any help for the issue. This condition has severe negative effects on the person. Daily events like traveling, staying at a relatives or friends place or even sleeping in your own bed requires great amount of planning which becomes a nuisance to self and people around you.

Good News - Most of the Incontinence Conditions Are Curable

The type of incontinence depends on various factors like your age, your weight, your hereditary history; the disease you were suffering from or are suffering from at present etc. the incontinence is divided into four major types:

1. Urge incontinence - you will feel the urge to go to the bathroom whenever even a drop of water passes your lips. The water intake need not be even as much as a glass. The feeling seems to be there all the time.

2. Stress incontinence - when the urinary sphincter becomes loose this kind of incontinence arises. A little urine tends to leak out every time you laugh, sneeze or cough in this condition. Even the slightest of exertion will result in urine leakage. One may also notice urine leak when they get up after sleep or when they raise from a chair after sitting for a while.

3. Mixed incontinence or Combination of Urge and Stress incontinence - this condition arises when the symptoms of one incontinence is overlapping one or more of the symptoms of the other incontinence.

4. Incontinence due to medical intervention or prostate surgery incontinence - prostate surgery incontinence can be cause by a number of surgical procedures. It is observed that with time the prostate surgery incontinence can be reversed. Age becomes an important factor in prostate surgery incontinence and the recovery from it. With proper treatment one should be able to get the control back.

The kind of incontinence hardly matters to the patient. The real issue becomes the disconcerting condition and the feeling of embarrassment while moving about in your daily life. At least the people with prostate surgery incontinence have the assurance of getting out of the embarrassing situation. But for others if proper medical attention is not taken in time the situation may worsen with time.

The prostate surgery incontinence can be taken care of with a caterer but unlike this in other common forms of incontinence the person experiencing this embarrassing condition would have to wear high absorbent adult napkins. This will allow him a limited freedom in his daily activities. With the robotic micro-surgeries available today the prostate surgery incontinence could soon be a thing of the past. The prostate gland is removed without disturbing the muscle tissues surrounding it in the robotic micro-surgery.
