This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Yes. I started those after the surgery. They just said to do them. My research shows that half the doctors think they are useless and half swear by them. They are free so it can't hurt. I started doing 200-300 a day. That's too many. Finally my doctor said do 10 reps of 10 seconds each 10 times a day. That 100, 10 second kegels a day. I spread them out. Usually when I change the diaper or am reading.
My Dad has surgery about 3 months ago. He had servere incontinance for like first 7 weeks were he was using approximately 10 to 15 Depends per day. He is now down to using 3 a day...it will get better make sure you do your Kegels
