First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether doing pelvic floor exercises before prostate surgery can help men avoid urine leakage afterward. About 30 men with an enlarged prostate will either do exercises before surgery or get standard care. The goal is to see if patients and doctors find the exercise program easy to follow and helpful.
