I'm 73 and had my prostate removed 23/11/2022 came home the next day and felt reasonably well. By the following Sunday I was in extreme discomfort from constipation. This was sorted with a suppository but I was still afraid to strain to go. 
I had my catheter removed 2 weeks later and after being told I would be incontinent I'm quite surprised at how well I'm doing I can now sleep without a pad and spend all day with no pad only using one if I go out for reassurance more than anything. 
I didn't have nerve sparing surgery so I'm minus a few functions but I really don't need them anymore as my wife is very understanding. I just hope that at my 8 week check up that the PSA value is drastically reduced from the 20.2 it started at my prostate was 142 ml so I've lost a considerable amount of length in the area that men are concerned about but again with 6 children 11 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren I really am not bothered. As long as the cancer has gone I can live with the surgical consequences.
