Prostate cancer surgery is one of the most common contributing factors to incontinence and bladder control problems in men.

Based on the data presented at 31st Congress of the Societe Internationale D’Urologie in Berlin, October 2011, 40-50% of patients developed incontinence immediately after prostatectomy; 10% developed long-term incontinence (over 12 months); and 30% developed over active bladder and  30% had sphincter damage. The level of the incontinence as measured by absorbent pad usage could vary from 1 pad a day to more than 10 pads a day.  The bladder control issues include increased urinary urgency and frequency after surgery.

The current medical treatments for male incontinence and bladder control issues have been quite limited in terms of side effects, low success rates, and lack of long-term.  Those options are not desirable to men of all ages who are still living an active life style.

There are some courageous men who dare to try different approaches to solve their problems. Today I am going to cite two letters from such men.

A letter from Bob R. (86, improved bladder control after prostate cancer surgery)

 “I had advanced prostate cancer surgery 5 years ago. Ever since then I had to get up 7-8 times a night to urinate. I ordered 4 BetterMAN early last month and have been taking 4 capsules a day.  Last night I slept 5 hours and 20 minutes before I had to get up! I haven’t gotten that much sleep at one time since my surgery 5 years ago. I have tried many other natural remedies, none of which worked. I was on Detrol for quite awhile and it did not help me either. I am glad I finally found BetterMAN.”

 A letter from Rick P. (64, improved bladder control after prostate cancer surgery)

“I had prostate surgery 10 years ago. At that time, I tried BetterMAN for one year in conjunction with vacuum erection device to regain my erectile function. After 10 years, I decided to use BetterMAN again. I am now 64 and wanted a little boost. Also my urologist does not know why, I had a problem with frequent urination which is common for people who have had prostate surgery. What a great product you have!  I now urinate less frequently, and my erections are stronger and more long lasting. Thanks for doing the research. You should be very proud of BetterMAN.”

My thoughts:

If you are not satisfied with your current state of bladder control, you should not stop there and give in to the adult pads. Give BetterMAN a try. Make sure you give the product enough time. If you had prostate surgery before, your recovery time may take longer than the average 2-3 months recommended to general public. Be patient and be persistent. You should see dramatic improvements in the quality of life down the line.

We are very much interested in your feedback, questions, comments, or stories.

To your health,

Incontinence after Brain Trauma - 30 Years Later - Case Report (13)

It’s hard enough to be a caregiver, but it’s much harder if the person under your care is incontinent. If you or your loved ones are in such a situation, you may find the following story, from a mother, uplifting.

“My son has been Incontinent for the last 30 years”

Mrs. Kate B. called us on 1/4/2012 to reorder BetterMAN for her son.

“My son, Ron, suffered severe brain damage in an auto accident when he was 18 years old. His brain was so traumatized that he was in a coma for about 4.5 months. His doctor lost hope and said he would not make it, or became bed ridden in a persistent vegetative state.

My husband and I refused to accept that ‘reality’. We brought Ron back, cared, and prayed for him at our home. We tried everything to help him recover. Ron was in a wheelchair for 6 years, gradually progressed to using a walker, and then finally was able to walk.  Now Ron is mobile, loving, upbeat, and has a great sense of humor.    

But Ron still has problems. He has no short term memory, cannot remember what he had for lunch.  In addition, he has bladder control problems, incontinence at night and dripping after urination during the day.

When I saw your BetterMAN/BetterWOMAN ad in Reader’s Digest, I thought that the natural remedy BetterMAN sounded very interesting for Ron to try. I thought if nothing happened after 6-12 months, we could always move on to try something else. So I started Ron on BetterMAN at two capsules daily on 12/20/2011.  

To our big surprise, we started to see some improvements almost immediately, during the past two weeks, Ron had 7 nights dry!  We were thrilled to death!”   

A letter from Kate on 2/5/2012

“Dear Dr. Wishnow,

Enclosed is the copy of the January calendar we use to record Ron’s condition and communicate among several shifts of caretakers and ourselves. As you can see, in January, Ron was dry 70% of the time at night (21 nights in a month)!  Before he started BetterMAN, he had only about 3-7% of dry nights per month (1-2 nights in a month).

Wearing Pull-Ups is a humiliating experience for adults. But we had to do it. I said to Ron ‘If you can make one month dry, I will let you wear whatever you like when you go to sleep.’  Ron is thrilled and very proud of his progress.  

We are very thankful!

Mrs. Kate, B.”

My thoughts

What a mother!

There were plenty of reasons or excuses for Kate to give up and accept the “reality” a long time ago.  

But this is not Kate, an exceptional mother. She persisted, knowing the road to recovery would be long, slow, and difficult; she refuses to give up, ever…

To Kate’s courage and Ron’s continued recovery,
