NCT ID NCT07045415
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether teaching pelvic floor muscle exercises before and after prostate removal surgery can help men control urine leakage and feel better day-to-day. Ten men who have surgery for prostate cancer will learn these exercises from nurses. The goal is to see if this simple training reduces incontinence and improves quality of life.
