Summary

This study tests whether doing pelvic floor muscle exercises before and after prostate surgery can improve urinary symptoms like urgency, dribbling, and frequent urination in men with an enlarged prostate. About 46 participants will either do the exercises or receive standard care. Researchers will measure changes in symptoms, bladder emptying, and quality of life over 8 weeks after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: pelvic floor muscle exercises
What this could lead to: If effective, this could provide a simple, low-cost way to help men recover faster and with fewer urinary problems after prostate surgery.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 46 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The exercises require consistent effort and may not work for all patients.
