Research Notes on Exercises for Men After Prostatectomy
Surgery to treat men with prostate cancer is often followed by urinary incontinence. Research suggests that this problem may go away more quickly if the men perform certain exercises to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles.
Fast Facts:
- Kegel exercises involve contracting and releasing the muscles at the bottom of the pelvis.
- Kegel exercises were originally developed to help women with incontinence following childbirth.
- Following a radical prostatectomy these simple exercises can help return bladder control more quickly.1
