Agree whole heartedly with starting Kegels exercises before surgery if possible.

Strong recommendation to see a Physical Therapist for instructructions, and some PTs focus on pelvic function recovery.

I was only able to fit in 1 session pre-op and it helped more than I can express.

Kegels are not difficult, but having some direction helped me try to focus on tightening certain muscles getting up and down after surgery (no Kegels while catheter in place).

Best wishes for a good outcome.
