Prostate issues

Anyone who had a prostate removal--How did it affect your nudism? I understand leakage is a side effect. What should I be expecting?

I'm 8 months' post-op. I still deal with stress incontinence, which prevents me from being nude at home (too messy). For the same reason I've stayed away from spas and resorts. I'm working with a pelvic floor physical therapist on exercises that may be helping. Progress has been slow. I feel discouraged, but I accept that in my case it may take longer to resolve. If it doesn't, there's a surgical option, but that feels premature at this point. If there's more I can tell you, please don't hesitate to message me. Best of luck on your treatment.

I had my prostate removed 16 years ago. Leakage was an issue at first but the kegel exercises helped a bunch. I now almost never have leakage unless I'm physically tired and have a really full bladder. One other thing to know. If I don't have an empty bladder before orgasm, I will sometimes leak urine then.

I'm going in for a TURP (transurinary resection of the prostate) which doesn't involve removing the prostate but taking a bit of it away to make the opening to the urethra larger. It looks like leakage might be a problem there as well. I'll just have to see.

Have you had your procedure? How are you doing?
