Understanding Post-Prostatectomy Side Effects

Urinary Incontinence
One of the most common side effects of prostate surgery is urinary incontinence. This can range from occasional drips to a complete loss of bladder control, often triggered by actions like laughing or sneezing. While this condition typically improves within a year, the type of surgery can affect recovery time. Our pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on strengthening the muscles that control urination, significantly reducing incontinence and improving your quality of life.

Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is another frequent issue following prostate surgery. The ability to achieve or maintain an erection can be compromised, depending on factors such as age and whether the nerves around the prostate were preserved during surgery. Pelvic floor exercises can enhance erectile function by improving blood flow and muscle strength in the pelvic region.

Bowel Problems
Bowel control can also be affected after prostate surgery, leading to issues such as urgency, leakage, or excessive gas. Our therapy includes techniques to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, helping to manage and improve bowel control.

How Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Helps

Effective Treatment for Urinary Incontinence
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a proven method for treating urinary incontinence in men after prostatectomy. According to the National Association for Continence, 87% of patients who received individualized physical therapy for their specific type of pelvic floor dysfunction showed significant improvement. PFMT involves exercises that target and strengthen the muscles supporting the bladder and urethra, helping you regain control and reduce leakage.

Alleviating Bowel Problems
PFMT can also assist with bowel issues, reducing the urgency to rush to the toilet, preventing leakage, and managing excessive gas. By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, our therapy can help you maintain better control over your bowel movements.

Enhancing Erectile Function
For many men, pelvic floor exercises can improve erectile function after prostate surgery. By increasing blood flow and muscle tone in the pelvic area, these exercises can help you achieve and maintain erections, enhancing your sexual health and confidence.
