Men Doing Pelvic Exercises Recover Earlier

In the current study, the researchers randomly assigned 38 men scheduled for radical prostatectomy to either a treatment group or a control group. The men in the treatment group were referred to a physical therapist. They were instructed how to do Pelvic Floor Exercises both before and after surgery, using biofeedback to ensure they were using the proper muscles. The control group did not receive any formal instruction. All of the men completed questionnaires regarding bladder function at regular intervals over the next year.
Overall, 82% of the patients had regained continence (defined as not needing to use any absorbent pads) by the end of the year, including about equal numbers in both groups. But on average the men who had been educated about Pelvic exercises regained continence about one month earlier than those in the control group (at 12 weeks vs. 16 weeks).
Most of the men who did not regain continence within a year were still using at least three absorbent pads a day, indicating continued severe incontinence. The study authors explained that these men probably had extensive damage to the bladder sphincter or severe dysfunction of the bladder after surgery, and the exercises alone were unable to compensate for this.
But the exercises seemed to be effective. Pelvic floor exercise and education initiated prior to surgery is an effective noninvasive intervention useful for improving early return of urinary continence, the authors concluded. It would certainly have a positive impact on our patients undergoing radical prostatectomy in an effort to improve quality of life after major urological surgery.

The results of the study were published in the Journal of Urology (Vol. 170, No. 1: 130-133)

An annual gynaecological examination and consultation can give a lot of information on how to deal with common problems. A PAP Smear can be taken at the same time. This is a simple test to diagnose cancer of the mouth of uterus and should be done regularly from the time a woman is sexually active.

Once a month breast self-examination helps pick up breast cancer, which is the commonest cancer amongst women in Mumbai. However by the time the tumour is felt by the hand it is already quite large and spread.Hence a yearly mammography should be done, which can pick up even very early cancer.

Cancer of the uterus & ovary are very silent . A patient starts getting symptoms when the cancer has reached a very late stage.Hence an yearly sonography would be the right thing to do.

Bones tend to start becoming weak and fragile few years before menopause. Exercise and good diet with plenty of calcium will prevent this from happening. Addition to ones diet of soya products and lots of fruits and vegetables will help reduce menopausal symptoms. Early diagnosis of all conditions ensures complete and efficient treatment.

It is important to not neglect any symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, vaginal discharge, abdominal bloating and discomfort, breast lump, bone pains etc. If you feel completely healthy too, an annual health check up is recommended. A woman is the backbone of the family – you owe it to yourself and to your family to take care of your health.
