Prostate Cancer Surgery (prostatectomy) is usually chosen to treat localize prostate cancer, but unfortunately can cause urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction in men. This is the guide for men that elected to have prostate cancer surgery and want to learn more about the recovery process. It summarizes the surgery, bladder physiology, pelvic floor muscle training and behavioural changes to improve urinary incontinence and other side effects of the surgery. Information has been carefully collected from clinical expertise and research, in an easy-to-read format with illustrations.
