Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Before Prostate Surgery
This study is looking at whether starting pelvic floor physical therapy (exercises for your pelvic muscles) *before* prostate surgery (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate, or HoLEP) can help prevent or reduce urinary incontinence (leaking urine) afterwards. Traditionally, these exercises are started after surgery. Researchers want to see if an earlier start helps men who are having HoLEP for an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, or BPH) and related urinary issues. The study will measure how long it takes for participants to regain full bladder control after surgery.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study planning to enroll 36 male participants. It is not specified if participants will be randomly assigned to groups or if the study will be blinded.
- What's involved
- Participants will start pelvic floor physical therapy before their prostate surgery.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The main goal of the study will be measured 6 months after surgery to see how long it takes to regain bladder control.
