Are there any videos showing how to do Kegels correctly?

I think the challenge is that you can't see much from the outside with kegels. You could be doing them in a restaurant or work meeting, and no one would know. 🙂

Mayo Clinic describes how to do Kegel exercises on their website.

The video is from Michelle Kenway, an Australian physiotherapist. “ Prostatectomy Kegel Exercises for Men | Physiotherapy Real Time Radical Prostatectomy Workout”. Unfortunately, I was not able to download the video from YouTube.she is also on Facebook and Instagram. The YouTube address is:

Starting 20 Prostrate Proton sessions in September and looking for tips to keep my bladder full for each treatment. No ATD/Hormone RX with treatment really glad about that. AI test came back negative. 4+3 Gleason 7 intermediate risk/unfavorable.80 years old with 6 out of 18 cores cancer one on nerve bundle /70%. AI test showed low risk for spread outside prostate. Very anxious with the whole experience. Could have gone with Active Surveillance but even though my situation was borderline decided proton treatment best for me. So far very pleased with MD Anderson Proton Center/very patient focused. Dr Choi RO

Youtube is full of them but I strongly advise you to see a pelvic floor therapist because there IS a wrong way and if you do them the wrong way then you can make things far worse than they are now.

Is the MD Anderson Proton Center located in Jacksonville Florida? I had my proton radiation done at UFHPTI.

Have you gone through simulation at MD Anderson. That is where the do a dry run for setting up your treatments. At UFHPT they have a specific bed for each patient and is molded to you during simulation. They will have you drink 16 ounces of water 30 minutes prior to simulation and then take low dose xrays and CTs to look at your bladder. If they need to lower or raise they amount of water you drink prior to treatments this is one of the test done.

At UFHPTI you are required to come in 30 minutes prior to your reservation. At that time you have to drink the amount of water they instructed you to drink. The 30 minutes is to allow the water to from stomach to get into bladder. I liked this as you don't have to drink water prior to coming and try to drive with a full bladder, etc.
