Overview

Why continence temporarily suffers

Removing the prostate affects structures that are involved in urinary control. That is why many men experience involuntary urine loss at first after the operation. The pelvic floor now takes on an even more important role for continence, and it can be trained in a targeted way. How quickly things improve is individual and should be supervised by a urologist.

Step by step

The structured path to control

1

Urological clearance

Start after the catheter is removed and your doctor has given clearance; your team decides on the timing.

2

Awareness

Consciously engaging the pelvic floor again: the foundation for building control.

3

Train regularly

Targeted and supervised. Continence usually returns step by step over weeks to months.

4

Stay on track

Patience pays off. A clear plan and guidance help you stick with it.
