Urologist,  's  Response
Hello,

The incontinence is a routine occurrence after prostatic surgery. It will take anywhere between 3 months to 1 year to decrease gradually. The brownish flecks maybe some clots that you pass in your urine which is not unusual for up to 3 months after a major procedure in the urinary tract.

I assume you have been operated for prostate cancer and if your biopsy report was fine and PSA levels are normal there is no cause for concern now.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Karthik Rajan
