Summary

This study tested whether doing Kegel pelvic floor exercises in the first 8 hours after lumbar disc surgery helps with urinary retention, pain, and comfort. 58 adults who had back surgery under general anesthesia and could not move for 8 hours after surgery took part. The exercises were done three times at set hours. The goal was to see if this simple, drug-free approach could improve recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Kegel pelvic floor muscle exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, these simple exercises could become a standard way to help patients urinate more easily and feel more comfortable after back surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 58 participants. The results may not apply to all patients, and the exercises may not work for everyone.
