These side effects are unfortunately common concerns after prostatectomy, and many community members have shared similar experiences and questions about recovery timelines and management strategies. Your question touches on something that affects a significant portion of people who undergo this surgery, and connecting with others who've been through similar experiences can provide valuable insights and support during recovery.
