When the surgery is performed, the prostate is removed and sews the ends of the urinary passage together. When the catheter is removed, men will be incontinent for a few weeks or months for control to return. 5-10% of men will remain incontinent permanently after treatment. 1:55 The two types of incontinence. There are two types of incontinence: Stress incontinence, and overt incontinence. Stress incontinence is where men can retain urine except when they jump, laugh, or cough. This occurs in 50% of men after RP. Kegel exercises can help improve stress incontinence. Anticholinergic medications such as Detrol, Enablex, Ditropan, and Myrbetric can help with this problem as well. 3:15 Overt incontinence is when leakage occurs all the time. In unskilled hands, RP can cause this issue in up to 30-40% of men. Going to a center of excellence can reduce this statistic to less than 10%. 3:42 Treatment for overt incontinence. Surgical intervention is typically required. For milder cases, a sling procedure typically can help solve the issue. If you go this route, ensure that your urologist has experience in this area. Artificial sphincters involve the placement of a cuff around the urethra with a control mechanism implanted in the scrotum. When a man needs to relieve himself, the cuff releases pressure on the urethra and allows the flow of urine. This treatment tends to be highly effective for overt incontinence. 5:03 Other urinary side effects. Climacturia, where men ejaculate urine after RP occurs in about 20% of men after surgery, but this side effect is not mentioned very often. Ensure that you discuss this potential side effect with your urologist before your procedure. A urethral stricture can happen when scar tissue develops in the urethral passage after surgery. This scar tissue can cause a blockage. Treatment for stricture can cause incontinence if the scar tissue is damaged from the treatment for stricture. Thankfully, this only occurs in about 2-3% of men after RP. 6:47 Conclusion. RP is the only treatment for prostate cancer that commonly causes urinary incontinence. Often times with equal cure rates as the alternatives.
