Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms After Surgery for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) on improving lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), postvoid residual volume (PVR), and quality of life in patients undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients who undergo BPH-related procedures, such as TURP or HoLEP, often experience postoperative symptoms including urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, dribbling, and voiding difficulty, which may negatively affect daily living. Pelvic floor muscle exercise is believed to enhance urethral sphincter function and pelvic floor support, thereby improving urinary control. This randomized study assigns participants to either an intervention group receiving PFME training or a control group receiving standard postoperative care. Differences in urinary outcomes between groups will be compared. The findings are expected to provide an accessible and cost-effective rehabilitation strategy to support postoperative recovery and quality of life.
