Pelvic floor exercises after prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegel exercises) after prostate removal surgery helps improve bladder control and reduce urine leakage. If you're recovering from prostate surgery and didn't have leakage before, these exercises might help you regain continence faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 40 years old or older.
- You must NOT have had urine leakage (incontinence) before your prostate surgery.
- You must have had your prostate removed (radical prostatectomy) because of prostate cancer.
- You must not have serious organ problems (like liver or kidney failure), advanced heart failure, bleeding disorders, psychiatric or neurological conditions, active infections, or a history of major abdominal or pelvic surgery.
