Bladder Control Problems After Prostate Surgery
If you have had cancer of the prostate that required a radical prostatectomy, you may experience accidental urine leaks when you put pressure on your bladder, such as during a sneeze, cough, or exercise. This condition is called stress urinary incontinence.

Effective Treatment for Male Stress Incontinence
Due to its minimally invasive nature, some urologists consider ProACT first if non-surgical methods have not been successful.4,5,6 ProACT Therapy has been been used in more than 5,000 men in Europe, Canada, Australia, South America and New Zealand.

The ProACT Device to Treat Urinary Incontinence after Prostatectomy

The ProACT Device consists of two small implantable balloons. During a short outpatient procedure, the balloons are surgically placed under the skin in the area where your prostate was surgically treated. The balloons help protect against accidental leaking of urine by increasing the amount of pressure required to urinate. (When you need to urinate, a normal amount of effort still should be required to push the urine out. However, the pressure from the balloons will help guard against unintentional urine loss, such as during a sneeze or cough.)
The complete ProACT System is implanted within your body and once implanted, no-one but you will know it is there. Your doctor can inflate, deflate, or remove the device as necessary at any time after the surgery. There is no need for you to manipulate any part of the device, as would be the case with an artificial urinary sphincter.
