Can prostate surgery have to result in incontenance?

Unfortunately yes: Presume your question is for someone else, because age 37-years, if ur male, is very young to have prostate surgery. In any case incontinence can be corrected by means of an artificial urinary sphincter if incontinence does not respond to medication.
