Pre-surgery exercise program for enlarged prostate treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
