I m a prostrate cancer survivor since having my prostrate removed, my problem is I continue to leak and always having to go to the bathroom to empty myself to find out nothing is there this is very bothersome at night. There are times I get up several times and nothing happens. I have found out that when I take calis that I don t have this problem. Should I take calis on a daily basis to help with my problem

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Urinary incontinence is common after prostate removal. It may be caused by urinary infections or weakened pelvic floor. This is also a common and often embarrassing problem. If overreactive or incontinent bladder affects your daily activities, don't hesitate to see your doctor. For most people, simple lifestyle changes or medical treatment can ease discomfort. It is treated with specific medications, pelvic floor muscles exercises, electric stimulation of bihevioral treatment and in most cases this is adequate for incontinence control. If Cystitisis a cause as an bacterial infection then it must be treated with antibiotics..Surgical options are reserved for severe and intractable cases.
