Thank you, David for the very concise and detailed description of how to do Kegel exercises .

I currently take Tamsulosin and plan to augment treatment using your guide to these exercises . Well-done , Chap ; I truly appreciate your efforts . 🙏🏽. George Lewis, Sr. in the Dominican Republic

This video has been extremely helpful during my recovery from prostatectomy surgery. Performed your pelvic floor in conjunction with Kegel exercises daily. Eating right and exercising (2.5 mi brisk walk daily). In five months I have went from 300+ ml leakage to now 17 ml daily. I am very confident within a few more months will be continent .

@Sp84245 Жыл бұрын

David- very well presented and user-friendly program for me as I am post radical robotic prostatectomy and was unsure how and when I might be able to curtail the incontinence seen as I bend at the waist, cough , sneeze, or simply fatigue, or when still semi-somnolent at night but need a trip to the bathroom to void. Sometimes that trip can be associated with the incontinence

Thanks David, just found your video, I will begin on the exercises immediately, very clear video - to the point and and easy to understand. I hope they work for me - having a lot of issues with my bladder at the moment . I wear a pad (only at night) I seem to wake in time, couple of times a night, but when I start traveling to the toilet my bladder does not hold, and I wet the pad, sometimes worst than others. This happens about one night a week or so I hope the exercise work _ Thanks again.

THANKS A LOT. i have recently had my prostate removed . since starting your program in the ist month i had 3 nights where i did not have to get up during the night to go to the bathroom for the ist time in decades !!! for the 2nd month i had 4 nights of uninterupted sleep and now for the 3rd month i have had 12 nights. just wonderful. the day time leaking has not changed very much BUT 5 days ago i talked to a guy who said his urologist said to practice stopping and starting the urine flow 10 x a day. this has seemed to switch something on in my body and i am now getting rapidly improving day time leakage results. ......................... many thanks from new zealand.

Hi David. I have just had a bladder neck incision and TURP procedure and found the information in your video very helpful, thank you. Maybe my procedures could have been avoided / postponed if I’d had information about these exercises earlier. The UK NHS gives very limited information. It's a shame they don't give out copies of your video as I'm sure lots of people with urinary problems would find it helpful.

It depends on the individual. There are certain criteria which influence the speed with which men recover following surgery. These include age of the man at the time of surgery, size of prostate, where nerve sparing was performed and on surgeon technique. Hope you are doing well.

David, you need to correct the hand position when doing mini sit-ups. Your method can cause neck strain. The hands should be held each side of the head touching the ears much better results and less dangerous
