Kegel

[Archives1]

So I have done a lot of Kegel exercise as best as I can ascertain.

Had prostatectomy. Been off the catheter for about 10mdays.

I am sitting down for a while. I know that when I get up, I will feel an uncontrolled flow of urine come out and into my pad.
Is this the instant at which I try to perform a Kegel sphincter contration to try to pevent that flow? So far, that does not seem to work.
Any suggestions?

Frencho-- practicing kegels until you can use empty your bladder in the restroom would be appropriate. But it would be key that your contraction be focused on your bladder and not your sphincter unless this was a bowel leakage.

Were you able to see our previous comment about the importance of talking to a physical therapist? Biofeedback or PT sessions would likely be a very helpful exercise to better understand what areas of focus you should hone in on.

Yes. Thanks. I will speak to my urologist about a recommendation for physical therapist.
