Pelvic floor exercises after surgery

Hi Bertie - I echo what the others have said i.e. not until the catheter comes out.  I had a while to wait for surgery so I used the "Squeezy for men" app from February until my op in June and have used it since the catheter came out 7 days after surgery.  I leaked like crazy the moment it came out - it was really dispiriting to be honest.  Dry at night lying down, but pretty dribbly during the daytime.  Exertion (a 10 minute walk!) or tiredness really brought it on.  After say 4-5 weeks I passed a lot of old blood and clot debris and things improved no end.

Coming up to 3 months post-op and since last week I don't need any pads at all, nothing, I can cough, sneeze and even fart without fear of leaking.  Coffee I can handle - I'm wary of beer though - I had some close calls during the Euros!

Best wishes for your recovery.

Many thanks Upkeep for your advice and sharing your experience, Catheter comes out Tuesday.  I’m sure what you’ve said will help with how I deal with what follows.
