Prostate Cancer: Symptom Management and Optimizing Quality of Life


Listen Later

Urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction are common side effects of prostate cancer treatment, but both are manageable. Dr. Lindsay Hampson explains the types of incontinence—stress, urge, mixed, and overflow—and how identifying the cause guides treatment. Management strategies include pelvic floor physical therapy, medications, and surgical options like slings or artificial urinary sphincters. For sexual dysfunction, approaches range from oral medications and vacuum devices to injections and implants. Dr. Michael Rabow also highlights the side effects of androgen deprivation therapy, including fatigue, depression, hot flashes, and cardiovascular risk. He outlines evidence-based strategies—like exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, and medications—to help preserve well-being and quality of life during treatment.
