Following a Prostate Removal
There are few more frightening surgeries for men than having their prostate glands removed. It is certain to be life-changing and, unfortunately, some of those changes will be of the sort that can make everyday social activities very stressful. Because the body’s anatomy is forever changed after these surgeries, anyone who endures them will have to anticipate some lifestyle changes. The ColoplasVirtue device can make these adjustments less stressful both physically and psychologically by helping the body to maintain the alignments that contribute to the proper functioning of the immune system.
The ColoplastVirtue device is implanted surgically, through a small incision. The device elevates the urethra and keeps pressure on the bladder, imitating the effect of a normal prostate. This allows the patient to have better control over their urinary function and to help avoid embarrassing accidents that can become commonplace after certain operations. The device does not need adjustment. It consists, primarily, of a pair of arms that provide the necessary support and which hold everything in the positions in which they’re found in a body that has not been operated on. For those who have problems with incontinence, these devices can be life changing.
Unlike catheters and other invasive products, there is no discomfort associated with the ColoplastVirtue after it is installed. The procedure is a simple one and recovery isn’t too much of an ordeal. The device even helps the patient maintain control over their bladder when their muscles are under stress. Everyday occurrences such as coughing and sneezing can become occasions for embarrassing mishaps after one has had surgeries that affect their urinary system. This device makes it easier for patients to get back to living a normal life and to have the security that comes with knowing that control can be maintained.
