So you had prostate surgery or radiation, and now you're dealing with something that feels almost cruel—bladder leaks. You beat the prostate issue, but nobody prepared you for this part. And here's what makes it worse: most men think they're alone in this, but they're absolutely not. Somewhere between 6 and 69 percent of men experience urinary incontinence after prostate treatment. That's a huge range, but it tells you something important. This is common, it's expected, and it happens to men across all walks of life. Let's talk about why this happens in the first place. Your prostate sits right below your bladder, wrapped around the tube that carries urine out of your body. Any procedure involving that area—whether it's a full removal, radiation, or treatment for an enlarged prostate—can affect the muscles and nerves that control bladder function. Your body needs time to adapt, and sometimes it needs help getting there. Now here's where things get interesting. Most doctors will recommend Kegel exercises, and yes, those work for many men over time. But doing 50 to 80 squeezes a day for months requires serious commitment, and a lot of men do them incorrectly anyway. Medications exist too, though they work better for urge incontinence than the stress incontinence most men experience after surgery. What pelvic health specialists are finding is that newer approaches like HIFEM therapy—that's High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic therapy—can strengthen pelvic floor muscles much faster than manual exercises alone. The technology triggers thousands of muscle contractions in a single session while you sit fully clothed. Men typically complete eight sessions over three to four weeks and see real improvement in bladder control. The point isn't that one solution fits everyone. It's that you have more options than pads and waiting it out. Early intervention matters, and combining approaches often produces better results than relying on just one method.
