Are Kegels Worthwhile?

I had the 5 proton radiation treatments at Mayo Phoenix. I started getting slight dribbles and a half dollar size wet spot in bed after a night's sleep 310 days after radiation. Started using a thin shield once a day and a pad at night. My next appointment with my urologist he said to do Kegels. Three months later I am dry as my backyard in Phoenix. I can even wash dishes without getting the urge to stop and pee before finishing them. Just did a couple of set while writing this.

Have started doing some kegals but because it really isn't a big issue, I forget to do them rather often.
