The underwear has been specially designed to deal with the different side effects that arise after the prostate surgery. Let’s have a look at what is the prostate, prostate surgery, what are its common side effects and how to deal with them.

What is Prostate?

The prostate gland is found only in men and is located below the bladder. It is a walnut sized gland which secretes fluid to nourish and protect the sperm. As men age, they can experience urinary changes which may be caused by enlargement or inflammation of the prostate gland. If you are also dealing with any such condition, remember to get in touch with a doctor at the earliest.

The Surgical Methods Surgeries can be performed to completely or partially remove the prostate.

• Prostatectomy or The Traditional Open Surgery During this surgery, the surgeon completely removes the prostate and in certain cases, if prostate cancer is diagnosed, the surrounding lymph nodes are also removed. After the prostatectomy, it may become difficult for a man to achieve an erection, however, this is not seen as a permanent side effect.

• Endoscopic Surgery

If you are facing a problem because of an enlarged prostate, you can avoid the external incision and the abdominal surgery. During the endoscopic surgery, the surgeon uses a long, flexible tube with a lens and enter it through the end of the penis. Using this method, part of the prostate gland can be removed.

However, if you are suffering from prostate cancers, doctors are not likely to recommend this method.

• Laparoscopic Surgery Multiple tiny cuts are marked by the surgeon who uses them to insert small surgical tools. The laparoscope, a thin tube with a camera, makes it easy for the surgeon to see what’s going on. In certain hospitals, the doctors direct a robotic arm while monitoring its movement on the computer screen. This surgery involves the least loss of blood and the recovery is fast, which makes it the most preferred surgeries.

• Perineal Approach If it is difficult for you to undergo an abdominal surgery because of any reason, the perineal approach is preferred by the doctors. An incision is made in the perineal through which the doctors can reach the prostate. This is the fastest method and has a short recovery time.

Recovering From The Surgery Following any of the above-explained procedure, the patient will be monitored closely. You may have to stay in the hospital for about 2 weeks and will probably need a catheter. The doctors will explain to you how to handle the catheter and take care of the surgical site. Recovery time generally depends on the type of surgery a person has undergone.

General Side Effects Any type of surgery leaves side effects behind and removal of the prostate can cause: • Incontinence • Erection Problem Incontinence

About 20% of the males who undergo the prostate surgery can have an incontinence problem afterward.
