Hypopressive exercises for bladder and erection problems after prostate surgery
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special exercise program (hypopressive exercises) to see if it can help men who have both leaking urine and erection problems after prostate cancer surgery. You would learn gentle movements that may strengthen your pelvic muscles and improve control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man who had prostate cancer and your prostate removed (radical prostatectomy).
- You have both leakage of urine and trouble with erections.
- You are older than 55.
- You can understand simple instructions and are able to read and write.
- You can voluntarily tighten your pelvic floor muscles (the muscles you use to stop urine flow).

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.
This study tests a special training program using touch and movement to strengthen pelvic floor muscles in men who leak urine after prostate cancer surgery. It may help you regain bladder control more quickly.
This study tests a program that combines exercise, nutrition, and mental preparation before and after prostate removal surgery. The goal is to help you recover faster and keep better urinary and sexual function.
This study tests a non-invasive (no surgery or needles) electrical stimulation device to help men regain bladder control after prostate removal surgery. The device uses gentle electrical pulses on the pelvic floor muscles to retrain them and reduce urine leakage.
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.
This trial studies whether doing pelvic floor exercises can help men improve their erections and overall sexual health. You'll be asked to follow a routine of exercises at home.
