For many men, surgery for an enlarged prostate brings some relief.<\/p>\nFor many men, surgery for an enlarged prostate brings some relief.<\/p>\n
Urine flows more easily.<\/p>\n
Urgency improves.<\/p>\n
Nights get less interrupted.<\/p>\n
But surgery often brings new hurdles: leakage, sexual problems, and the stress of wondering how much function you\u2019ll get back.<\/p>\n
A new study in International Urology and Nephrology<\/em> shows there\u2019s something men can do about it.<\/p>\n Targeted pelvic floor exercises can smooth the recovery process and protect quality of life.<\/p>\n Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common conditions men face after age 50.<\/p>\n When symptoms like frequent urination, weak stream, or straining get too severe, many men undergo transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).<\/p>\n TURP works, but side effects are common: incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and lingering anxiety.<\/p>\n The researchers tested whether pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), taught with a behavioral framework called the Health Belief Model (HBM), could make a difference.<\/p>\n The HBM helps people stick to health programs by tackling beliefs about risks, benefits, and barriers head-on.<\/p>\n They studied 180 men recovering from TURP. Half got standard care.<\/p>\n The other half followed a 12-week structured PFMT program built on the HBM.<\/p>\n The program offered education, motivation, and consistent guidance so men could stick with the exercises.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what happened. Compared to men who had standard care, those in the PFMT group:<\/p>\n •\tScored better on erectile function (IIEF-5 score: 20.08 vs. 20.99)<\/p>\n •\tReported lower anxiety and depression<\/p>\n •\tAdopted healthier habits overall\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n The study suggests that pelvic floor training can reduce complications and help men feel more in charge of their recovery.<\/p>\n But prostate surgery is absolutely unnecessary in most cases.
