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 if special exercises for the muscles that control urination (pelvic floor muscles) can help men who have had their prostate removed due to cancer to regain bladder control. It may help you if you are older than 40, did not have leaking urine before surgery, and have not had other major surgeries or health issues.
This trial tests if doing pelvic floor exercises before surgery helps women with stress urinary incontinence (leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). It aims to see if preparing the pelvic floor muscles leads to better results after surgery.
This study tests whether adding aerobic exercise (like walking or cycling) and relaxation to pelvic floor muscle training helps men recover bladder control and sexual function after prostate cancer surgery. You may be eligible if you had nerve-sparing robotic prostate removal in the last year and can do pelvic floor exercises.
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 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.
