I am 6 years after prostatectomy and still incontinent. Usually 2 or 3 pads are sufficient and on the golf course the "stress incontinence" is worse requiring a diaper. I am currently trying external catheters with a small leg bag and also trying the Mcguire urinal. At least 3 companies make the Mcguire type and they are all similar. Each doctor has a different definition of "incontinence" and each individual's problem is different. Some get an occasional leak requiring only 1 depend pad a day. Others get a constant drip requiring wearing a leg bag all day and many leak at night in the bed. All others are somewhere inbetween.
