I've had radiation treatment for my prostate instead of surgery, only because shortly before I was gonna have it removed, I had a blood clot in my lung and was put on a blood thinner, so the surgeon didn't want to operate on me indicating that there was no good way to determine how much internal bleeding there would b because of being on the blood thinnere, thus the treatment option for my prostate cancer was 40+ sessions of radiation treatments.
on to the topic: I was having enlarged prostate issues before all of that and had been experiencing some leakage. Because I still have my foreskin, I have been able to put tissue paper over the head and wrap it over with my foreskin to catch any leakage so it doesn't hit any of my clothes. I don't get to be nude outside my home as much as I'd like, but in those situations, I have a towel either around my neck, around my waist, or in hand so I can cattch any leakage before it becomes too apparent. I'm also on a medication that helps me from having to make frequent trips to the bathroom. If I had more opportunity to be nude socially or outdoors, maybe my situation would be different.
Well, I ended up having the procedure last month. No real issues, although I did have to wear a catheter for three days. At first, I had to wear Depends because there was almost no time between the desire to urinate and the urge to do so. And it was frequent, like every couple of hours. I got to having a urinal at my bedside just in case I felt I couldn't make it to the bedroom.
After three weeks, I was able to sleep the entire night through without having to get up and pee. After a month, I no longer had to wear the Depends, although I wore underwear, even at night, in case I had a bit of leakage during that period of wanting-to-pee/needing-to-pee. I'm pretty much over that, six weeks after the surgery.
My urologist said that it sometimes takes four to five months to get back to normal. That's good news, and I feel that I'm already mostly there.
I did not have prostate cancer but like all males my prostate had become so large that a normal dosage of MetFormin eventually did not stop the need for frequent urination. I had a DaVinci Simple Prostatectomy, which is the Rolls Royce of non-cancerous prostate surgeries in April 2023, and I have not had any problems since. No leakage whatsoever. The only difference is that I now longer produce semen and therefore do not ejaculate anything when I have an orgasm.
Thanks! I hope that it will encourage other men to stay on top of their prostate conditions, and take the necessary steps to stay healthy. Too many lives lost to prostate cancer, too many men afflicted by complications from an enlarged prostate even when it's benign.
