Urinary Incontinence SolutionsHelp for those Who Face the Problem

A number of prominent doctors recommend patients use Kegel exercises, male patients especially. While women are more likely to experience incontinence simply due to their physiology, males often experience post prostatectomy incontinence. Effective use of Kegels can shorten the return back to normal bladder sphincter functioning.

Prostate surgery often causes stress or damage to the bladder sphincter causing incontinence. The two most prominent types of incontinence are stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Like their names indicate, one results from sudden pressure (laugh, sneeze or cough) and one involves involuntary loss of urine and a strong desire to urinate.

Operation Kegel Exercises: Male

First of all, kegel exercises are only effective when done correctly. So, it is necessary to properly identify the pelvic floor, detrusor and sphincter muscles. Once these muscles are identified, kegels for men are used to move them and finally strengthen them.

This is the Kegel Exercises Male checklist:

1. Be aware of the function and coordination of the PFM muscle. For older adults and persons whose pelvic muscle is severely relaxed, this may take several weeks. Awareness means the ability to tighten and release these male
   kegel muscles.
2. Muscle strength is the maximal force that can be generated by the PFM. The PFM must have the ability to contract quickly and forcefully. This is acheived through male kegel exercises
3. Regular Kegel exercises (male) lead to enhanced muscle strength and endurance. Muscle endurance is a performance characteristic calling for the PFM to execute repeated contractions.
4. Improvements of the symptoms indicate that the muscles are strengthening, especially as the ability to feel the muscle contract and relax increases.
5. Thinking ahead: contracting the muscle during the time of leakage (when coughing, sneezing, laughing, on the way to the bathroom) prevents urine loss. At this point some people feel that their incontinence is so improved that regular exercising is no longer needed.
