After removing of the prostate how long will it take to be able to control your bladder?

My dad is going in to have his prostate removed surgically with a robot. My family wants to get him tickets to a sporting event 3 months after the surgery. If all goes well is it realistic to recover within 3 months of surgery. Can a person hold their urine that quickly after having that procedure done. Will he feel good enough to want to go? Or should we get him something else for X-MAS?After removing of the prostate how long will it take to be able to control your bladder?
After prostate removal one is fitted with a catheter and either a collecting bag or else a tap on the end of it. This enables one to carry on normally without having to worry much about bladder control. One simply uses a toilet stall rather than a urinal when wanting to empty the bladder though the tap or to empty the bag.





Bladder control can take a month or two to be regained completely, but all should be normal after 3 months. Most sporting events have intervals during which people can visit the toilet without missing any action, so there should be no problems for your father.After removing of the prostate how long will it take to be able to control your bladder?
I had the robot surgery about a year ago. It only took about 2 weeks to get control of my bladder.


Good luck to your dad.
probably something else.
