Hi,

I would recommend pelvic floor therapy as I think it has helped my husband.

My husband had pelvic floor therapy prior to his radical prostatectomy on 2/28/2025. He performed the exercises for a few weeks prior to his surgery and resumed his exercises after catheter removal. He was using like 6 heavy pads a day after his surgery but was able to get down to one thin Tena pad and I credit that to his excellent pelvic floor therapist and my husband's commitment to doing the exercises as prescribed by his therapist. My husband also has a very positive attitude and we are a TEAM on this journey so we work together and he WILL be dry..... I would recommend going to a pelvic floor therapist prior to the surgery so you are not overwhelmed after you have the catheter removed. This will give you a chance to get familiar with the exercises before-hand.

@love06092025 thank you for your story. I am seeing my specialist in two weeks for a second biopsy after the MRI showing 2 lesions of 1.0 and 1.9 which they did not detect on the year old biopsy. I am thinking that the doctor will report back that a Gleason 3+4 is confirmed and he then would want to do the surgery. I am hoping to go to a therapist for strengthening my pelvic floor to help me in this journey. I too am a positive person
