Kegel Exercises: Am I doing them correctly?

I can say I am glad to hear about triggers but certainly explains I was not losing my mind thinking I had them. Running water causes me to need to urinate. Drinking hot coffee.

Doesn't matter if just went I get a signal to urinate.

I have been doing the kegels per instructions I found on line and the helpful post I have read on MCC. Will talk with PCP next visit to see if need to see PT. Seems to be better with less dripping prior to urnination but seems I don't get all out and some still leaks after I finish.

Again I thought I was the only one with triggers. This MCC is a great tool given to us by MCC as such things like this would never be known to me.

I heartily recommend PT with a DPT, who can feel the pelvic floor muscles, feeling between the scrotum and the anus, to provide guidance on your exercising.

IMO, ALL prostate surgical candidates should have "proper" PT for several weeks with a DPT prior to surgery. This could be a big step to building continence, and would be a big morale booster for the patient in recovery.
