Kegel exercises after prostate surgery for recovery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing Kegel exercises (tightening and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles) after TURP surgery helps you recover better, especially with urine control and comfort. It is designed for patients aged 45 to 65 with an enlarged prostate who are about to have this surgery.

This study tests a 'prehabilitation' program—exercises and online education you do before surgery—to see if it helps you recover after laser surgery for an enlarged prostate. You may benefit from feeling stronger and more prepared for your procedure.
This trial tests whether group pelvic floor exercises done before HoLEP surgery can improve recovery and urinary symptoms in men with an enlarged prostate. It may help some people feel better sooner by strengthening the muscles that control urination.
