Urinary Incontinence and Erectile Dysfunction can be successfully treated after prostate cancer surgery! If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and has chosen surgery for treating the cancer, "The Guide to Optimizing Recovery After Prostate Cancer Surgery" is for you!
Although urinary incontinence usually improves after the surgery, a small percentage of men will continue to suffer from it. This can be devastating to men and can immensely affect their lives.
After years of treating and supporting men pre and post prostate cancer surgery, Sam Hughes, Licensed Physical Therapist, developed this easy-to-read book, which addresses important and relevant information that will empower men to optimize recovery and treat urinary symptoms.
"The Guide to Optimizing Recovery After Prostate Cancer Surgery" is recommended by Urologists and professionals in the area as a must-read book pre and post prostate cancer surgery.
