Having to undergo a radical prostatectomy - the removal of the prostate gland to treat prostate cancer - is daunting just to think about. Even with the most qualified surgeon and the greatest medical care, there can be a great deal of information missing in one particular area of treatment: the "Drip Free" portion of the prostatectomy mantra above. The surgery addresses the cancer; we've all seen the countless ads for Erectile Dysfunction drugs on any given night watching television; yet there remains a shroud of secrecy around a most inconvenient truth about this surgery - that you may be dripping urine for a very long time, if not for the rest of your life.From dealing with the catheter, to choosing diapers and pads, to regaining continence - it can really be quite a journey far beyond the surgery itself. What you have in your hand now is a "care and feeding" of the male urinary system to guide you through this process and help you regain your quality of life.
