I had aquablation procedure in mid August. I am wondering if I should do Kegel exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor and further improve control of urination. Kegel exercises were never mentioned by my physician or his team. Could there be downsides to doing them?

@kocour . I had the aquablation done on June 24, 2025. I developed OAB and my urologist prescribed Pelvic therapy and Kegel exercises. I started from using 6 pad/briefs daily to now down 2 to three. I developed OAB after 4 weeks. I was done with my pelvic exercises with the physical therapist on October 14. He gave me home exercises to do for another for weeks and Kegel exercises for life.

@kocour It's my understanding that Kegel exercises are helpful, but they should be started six weeks or so after the procedure. Any kind of strain should be minimized to assist with the healing process.
