Before my father was diagnosed with this snippy little disease (prostate cancer), I couldn't tell you the function of the prostate. I never thought about it, and I wasn't alone. A recent study conducted by the fine folks at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute claims only 5% of the men questioned were aware of the prostate's purpose.
Less than 15% of the men surveyed for the Emory study knew the meaning of "incontinence," a potential side effect of prostate cancer treatment. Less than a third understood the term "urinary function." Fewer than half knew the meaning of "impotence."
The people surveyed were at a urology clinic, where the sole function is to discuss impotence, incontinence, and urinary functions.
Dr. Viraj Master, who helped lead the study, says men are so uninformed about simple prostate-related terminology that it could limit the ability of these patients to make wise decisions about their health.

Looking for washable leak proof underwear for men. My husband had his prostrate removed so we need heavy duty protection as he does not feel when he he needs to urinate. Only when it is too late. He is in his mid 60’s so is still very active and would like to be able to go out in public. Llhis waist size is 44” to 46”.
