Life After Prostate Surgery
Manage episode 378951945 series 3343401
A lot of men who are facing the prospect of prostate removal due to cancer have no idea that incontinence is an almost inevitable result of the procedure. For most men, leaking resolves itself in a few months to a year, but for some men, it can persist. Sexual dysfunction is another common side effect that many men need to navigate post-surgery.
Today we're talking with Dr. Peter Hill, a chiropractor in Weston, Massachusetts, who's experienced this firsthand. He shares his story of recovery from prostate cancer surgery and how he learned to manage the leaking, sexual issues and emotional challenges that he faced. It's a remarkably open, honest and enlightening discuss that all men should listen to.
