I had RALP 8/23/2022, did kegels and other Pelvic Floor PT before and after surgery.

Now, 9/26/2024, I still do them several times a week.

Hello.
I started doing Kegel exercises in late September last year, and the learning video provided to me was from a hospital in our country. But I did it for ten months and it didn't work. So from the time I left the hospital until the end of July this year, my incontinence dropped from 100% to 80%. This 20% is not completely controllable and is at night when sleeping, although still incontinence is only less. Hold it in and pull it out of the bathroom when you need to.
In light of this situation, I started looking for advanced medical technology hospitals online in early August to solve my incontinence problem. After less than a month of searching, we finally found the real Kegel exercise video and text explanation. These include articles and videos from the Mayo Clinic, the Library of Congress, and the Royal Library.
Through ten days of comparative videos and articles to explore understanding and practice, I basically achieved the correct practice. After 20 or so days of normal practice, urinary incontinence is only 70%.
The effect is quick, it may be that you have done irregular Kegel exercises before, but some muscles have been exercised, and the effect is a little earlier in accordance with regular Kegel exercises.
My difficulty now is that I have a language barrier to communicate with you. I write your reply in Chinese first, then translate it into English, and then send it to you. In fact, as long as you send me the information I need, I will translate it and read it.
Another difficulty is that I can't watch some science and technology videos from abroad, so I'd better ask you to download them and send them to me via email, especially the Kegel teaching videos. This Kegel tutorial video I'm watching right now, it's a brief overview without specific methods, steps, etc.
My urinary incontinence should be the bladder problem, I suspect that the compression muscle is too active, and the operation of the pubic bone and ligament and muscle connection damage, and now lack of exercise, not strong enough to cause! How to exercise them shows that it is necessary.
Thank you very much.
