Urinary incontinence is one of the most common complications of radical prostatectomy. It is caused by the damage of some muscles that control urination during the removal of prostate gland. Not all patients will show complete urinary incontinence. It is recommended to exercise the anal function early after surgery. Exercise the urethral sphincter function of pelvic floor. Most patients may gradually recover urinary control function within six months to one year after surgery. The degree of recovery of urinary control is related to the patient's condition. If the disease is relatively late, the invasion of surrounding tissues is more serious, and the tumor removal is more destructive to the surrounding urethral sphincter, and the recovery degree is not good.
