Summary

This trial tests whether pelvic floor muscle training can reduce urinary incontinence in men who have undergone HoLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Twenty participants will be randomly assigned to either a supervised exercise program or standard care. The study measures incontinence severity and quality of life three months after surgery to see if the exercises make a difference.
