Slight increase in incontinence and ED 4 weeks after RRP

Im doing very well. Im not complaining......but lol.

So fully continent on catheter removal apart from 2 stress incidents in first 3 weeks with a tiny leakage each time. No pads.
80% erections initially and full pre op erections with 50mg pill.

Over the past week I have notice a slight increase in stress related leaks when passing gas and my erections are harder to achieve without pills and maybe are just enough for intercourse. If I overthink it its gone.

What Im asking is, can you go back a way with these 2 main side effects before they fully recover?
Just worried Im on a big slide when things are going so well.

sometimes healing can be a "two steps forward, one back, three back, two forward."

Likely you'll some back and forth for your first year and then things should settle in to a firm place.

I was going to also add - complain to your doctors regularly. Sometimes the problems you're having have simple solutions (pill, lotion, treatment, etc).

The only other thing you should be doing is exercise - at least walking, walking is good for all the parts down there. I didn't see that in your post so just wanted to mention.

Dharma you are so ahead of the power curve...worry not( re. last sentence in initial thread )...its only going to get better...this whole season...will be reckoned by you...as the best experience you have ever had...counterintuitive...but true

Stress Not...In Deed... !!!

Thanks a lot Logo and H Bomb. It means a lot both of you. I phoned my PCa specialist nurse the day I posted and she was actually gently reprimanding me for engaging in any sexual activity at all!!! As far as they are concerned at this stage the pills are only for blood flow and nerve stimulation. So they dont recommend any activity for at least 6 weeks and even then she said that most of her patients are only feeling tingles. She told me to take it easy. So theres an Irish medical perspective for you H Bomb.

You too are doing great brother. Its very early days for both of us. Just need to get that into my thick head! I have recommended this forum to my nurse and she was very pleased to get the info. She took the details and said that there were men asking for info on a forum.
