Pelvic floor muscle training for urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy. Literature review

Abstract
Pelvic floor muscles training is the main method of treatment for urinary incontinence in prostate cancer patients after radical prostatectomy. For increasing the effectiveness of the method, the authors suggest starting the exercises before surgery and continuing them in the postoperative period. Other researchers modify the classic exercise program by adding exercises aimed at activating fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, or combining with vibration therapy, electromyographic biofeedback. Pelvic floor muscles training in various combinations and modifications, as the literature review shows increases the effectiveness of recovery of urinary control function after radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer.
