Gerry Connolly, from Co Donegal, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013 and said he did not realise how difficult coping with urinary incontinence would be after surgery.

The semiretired stationery salesman, 69, said that while he was prepared for the lifesaving treatment itself, he was not ready for the daily challenges that followed.

“Nobody really warned me what incontinence would be like afterwards,” said Mr Connolly.
