Do those Kegels!
I needed to discuss my current situation regarding Kegel exercises. In September I met with my surgeon for the first time to discuss my November RP. He emphasized the need to do Kegel exercises and showed me how to do them. From that point on I did them everyday. After my surgery and removal of my catheter I was told to do 2 exercises, ten reps of each, every hour. The result: I have had ZERO leakage. I decided to wear a day brief and then a night brief at bed just to be safe. NOTHING! They told me the ultimate test is when I sneezed or coughed. I sneezed: nothing again! There is no doubt in my mind that doing the Kegel exercises religiously is why I regained my continence so quickly. My advice to you is DO THOSE KEGELS!!!

Exellent videos. I have been trying to duplicate what others have posted about how to do this. These video were outstanding and easy to follow.
The first one listed actual 3 different muscle to use and had no idea about 3 different muscles to use. I found the instruction on how to do them excellent.
Thanks again for providing helpful information!
That's fantastic. How long after the surgery did it take?
