Pelvic floor exercises after prostate surgery for BPH
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises can help improve urinary symptoms after prostate surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (an enlarged prostate). It may help you regain bladder control and reduce discomfort after your operation.

This trial tests if the medicine Oxybutynin ER (a drug that helps relax the bladder) can help you regain bladder control sooner after robotic prostate surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for a few weeks after surgery.
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 whether Kegel exercises (pelvic floor muscle exercises) help men recover better after TURP surgery for an enlarged prostate. It may improve bladder control and quality of life after the 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.
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 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.
