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 .
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
Clear and easy to understand and remember. Very useful the recommendation when standing up from seating, coughing, sneezing... It is also useful to hold negative abdominal pression in abdominal contraction and releasing air from lungs in the excentric phase of the movement
I had the pleasure of meting and sitting down with David for about 3 hours, and his knowledge and understanding of the prostate cancer is invaluable . He told me the good , the bad & the ugly about the before & after operation & no bullshit .. , great man to speak to his video is very help full..
Thanks David.That was the most informative and easy to understand exercise program that i have found so far.I had prostate surgery in january 2012,and have had 'dribble' problems ever since. You have given me great encouragement that i might be able to stop this embarrassing problem. Kind regards Dave in the UK
Thanks for that. I am here as i have overactive bladder which is making my life a nightmare at times esp travel. I gave an expert what amounted to a week of my wages , to no result, and she didn't give me the exercises you have given us free here. Every blessing from Ireland!
3 points 1 - this guy is hilarious while divulging some very very useful information. 2 - he is Ozzy 3 - he looks like an older version of Glen McGrath the piegon. Thank you sir.
Brilliant- thanks, David. I’m due to have a prostatectomy in the next two weeks and this is the most straightforward description of pelvic floor exercises I’ve seen. 👍
David, nice job. I am both an NP and a prostate cancer survivor, I like the way you presented the exercises and your information . It will be helpful to many men.
Hi David. I have gone thru few videos on this subject but yours is the best and simple way to explain Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises. Even the demonstration of the exercises further clarifies everything. Thank you. Also thanks to Charles for uploading this highly useful video. Dawin
I LOVE YOU DAVID ... 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.
I too just had my prostate removed and this video was incredibly helpful. Very clear and thoughtful presentation. You would fortunate to be nursed by Mr Hughes.
After 1 week of having a TURP operation I started the Pelvic Exercises and one week later it started to work and now I am back to normal. Excellent video!
Thank you, David for the very concise and detailed description of how to do Kegel exercises . I haven’t had surgery , but I’m assuming my prostate is enlarged because of the difficulty I have ( and dribble ) in urinating . 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
An excellent video /tutorial for men (or women) to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles before having and after having surgery especially like me a prostate procedure. David has a way of putting the information across and I found it so easy to follow. The hardest bit is remembering to do the exercises - I try whenever I think about them and whatever I am doing.
@@TheProstateClinicTPC Thanks mate it is by Thulium laser which I see is one of the latest techniques so heres hoping those exercises will be helpful.😀
I found your video when generally searching for advice on pelvic floor strengthening exercises...really excellent and all the way from the other side of the world ! I am very satisfied with my progress in regaining bladder control,after a Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in August. I started working hard on the exercises in May prior to my op. and gradually built them up again post op.I am now close to complete control. Very many thanks again for making this information available to me.

I'm a cancer patient. Recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. Soon they will remove my prostate. I think this is a good exercise. Seem to me it's not only works for your bladder it also work's for your to get rid of the body fats as well
AlanSturgess I hope that things settle soon and glad to hear that the tips in this video are helping. Incontinence after a TURP is usually due to an overactive bladder and settles with time. If it persists talk to your dr about your options.
Thank you. I used this in preparation for my surgery for about a month. I'm 2 days past my catheter removal and at about 95% continent. Exceptions are a certain movement or a sudden cough or sneeze..thx!!
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.
Great video, I guess I been doing them wrong the last two months. I had a TURP procedure and I been leaking ever since. Do you feel this will help my situation too. I think it would since I still have my prostate, I had this procedure January of 2022. I guess if I hear it from you or someone else that's dealing with this. It would put my mind at ease and I would know down the line, this will help me from leaking. Thank you for the video, it was excellent
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.
This is an excellent, excellent video. Very clearly explained. It is nice to see a description of the pelvic floor catered to men. More importantly, I love how you gave exercises at the end to strengthen the pelvic floor that go beyond the traditional Kegel exercises. Thanks for such a wonderful video!
However thank you for putting this video out, there is a lack of information out there for men and also a misunderstanding of the need for men to do these exercises. Even if you havnt had surgery- strengthening these muscles brings better control and an increased response in your sex life.
Excellent teacher thank you! Question: how long does it take to reach the point where the leakage is only occasional? And is it possible to reach a point where the leakage virtually never happens?
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.
@@TheProstateClinicTPC Is anyone researching in detail why some men never recover after prostate surgery their continence or erectal function even with nerve sparing? (Even with aggressive rehab) Doctors say things like “it just kicks in” which is not medical language. Their state of knowledge is embarrassing. Someone must be researching this no? Thank you.
Thank you for sharing the advice, this is such an important topic for men and sometimes the focus is very much on women. You explain the exercises really well.
Try to lift your testicles by just engaging your pelvic floor. You should be able to do this without sucking in your tummy. The muscles are behind your scrotum. Good luck
Great video but after looking around on internet and so. I'm i supposed to breathe out when contracting the pelvic floor ? I have been trying to that too breathe out and do the kegel but it feels like I'm holding my breath. Or should I just contract the pelvic floor and then breathe ?
So i should not focus on breathe with my diaphragm or so then ? I have been just contract the pelvic and breath in and keep on breathing meanwhile I'm holding until 5 o ten seconds and then repeat. Reason i ask is that i have been doing the exercises for a few months now but no improvement it has actually just become worse If i compare how it was in November no i have to every hour and can barely hold it and just need to rush to the toilet it has even been a few accidents unfortunately
I’m 72 yo and I had my prostate removed 4 months ago, and I still have huge problems . My scheme so far has been: Sitting down (or standing) holding for 10 sec, relaxing for 10 sec, 5 repeats followed fast 2 sec hold max strength and 2 sec relax , 5 repeats . This complete cycle 10 times. Then 5 times sitting down holding, standing up relaxing , holding again and sitting down. That completes one training session. I only did 2 training sessions/ day as recommended by my doctor. So I should do 10 sessions every day? I never did those crunches on the floor . I‘m completely dry at night, but as soon as stand up I cannot hold my urin back, so pee in this special bottle, approximately 500 ml. But during the day it’s still a big problem, I’m leaking constantly when moving around. If I’m sitting down watching TV or eating for 1 hour I don’t leak but as soon as I stand up I have less then 5 sec to rush to the toilet. Not so nice when socializing with friends. I’m using pads around the clock. I try to make brisk walks for 30 - 60 minutes every day, but I have plan those walks so to be able to change pads if necessary. OK I’m desperate so I will do 5 sessions/ day and increase to 10 sessions/day and add the floor crunching exercise. Has anybody tried a the electric puls stimulator (anal probe)?
Sir. I’m 67. I’m 3 1/2 weeks out of prostate removal. I can totally relate to your situation. I’m following this routine. I’m seeing some improvement. Good luck.
@@alphacat619 I’m now 77 yo. It’s better but not good . The electric stimulater helped a little, but I still have to use the pads all the time. I still do the exercises but only once daily combined with general body muscle training with weights. So it’s better and you get used to the situation. Otherwise both my physical and mental health is very good . ED is of course another problem, but I’ve been prescribed Vitaros (alprostadil) and it works fine.
Good introduction, pelvic floor exercises were simple and well explained. Not sure that crunches especially obliques are really going to be a priority or going to work directly for PC muscles. The muscles you need to work with the 'team' of pelvic floor muscles are the TA which is a deep muscle that wraps around the 'waist' inserts/ originates from the ribs and spine to pelvis.
Post Holep operation I have watched your exercise video and put it into practice - not very successfully so far. Previously I used to have acute discomfort of needing to pee and frequency. Since doing the exercises yesterday the acute discomfort sensation has disappeared but I now have partial incontinence. Do I continue?
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
I've been advised I have to do these with HOLEP laser surgery coming up for benign prostate Hyperplasia. Let's hope it works. Thanks for posting. I'm in the UK.
@Ken Stott You'll be ok but remember there are side effects. It takes a while to get over. I was in surgery for 2.5 hours. Make sure you drink plenty of water. Good luck
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 .
How has it gone?
Best video. Three weeks out of surgery. I believe with following your video I’ll be good to go. Thank you from the Chicago suburbs.
Great news Ken!! Glad to hear that u r doing well👌🏻
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
Clear and easy to understand and remember.
Very useful the recommendation when standing up from seating, coughing, sneezing...
It is also useful to hold negative abdominal pression in abdominal contraction and releasing air from lungs in the excentric phase of the movement
As a healthcare professional id like to say you Sir are a legend. Simple straight talking
I had the pleasure of meting and sitting down with David for about 3 hours, and his knowledge and understanding of the prostate cancer is invaluable . He told me the good , the bad & the ugly about the before & after operation & no bullshit .. , great man to speak to his video is very help full..
By far the best description and range of exercises of 5 pelvic floor videos I have watched.

do you do all three of these exercises the first group close lift clamp, then sit ups,then and cough and chair or do you alternate them?
Brilliant! Complete and thorough. I wish I found you first. Thank You.
Michael J.E. Slavick III 一a great presentation. I am wondering if sexual activity especially oral sex is also a good pelvic flor exercise
Amazing, I can try that, thank you Sir,
Thank you David.
Very good explanation.
Trying to learn how to do these exercises how do you find my pelvic floor muscles?
Try to lift your testicles by just engaging your pelvic floor. You should be able to do this without sucking in your tummy. The muscles are behind your scrotum. Good luck
can this exercise help women with prolapse or cystocele?
Thanks
Thanks Dave will give it a go prior to the old laser and hope for the best .
A very nice and proper video.
Thank you.
This really works,
as long as you're consistent with the exercise.
I just wish I knew about this when I was In my 20's.
Do you have BPH?
I am in my 20's and learning about health issues that men faces in the future
Excellent instruction - thanks Dave

I have been trying to that too breathe out and do the kegel but it feels like I'm holding my breath.
Or should I just contract the pelvic floor and then breathe ?
Hi Lennart if it’s a struggle to coordinate breath and muscle contraction do whatever feels most natural. Good luck👌🏻
