Kegel Excercises?

[HarGreg]

Hello, I am currently doing salvage radiation to the prostate bed. Any harm doing Kegel exercises during the treatment? Thank You

I had adjuvant radiation to my prostate bed after my RARP. My URO allowed me to continue pelvic floor physical therapy, with its kegels, during and after RT. Even went for a second round of PT when my post radiation incontinence wasn't resolving quickly.

Thanks for the reply! I asked my RO this morning and he said it was fine as well. Harlow

Yes, do them. They help greatly in keeping your watertight integrity.

Hello, Watertight sounds good to me! Thanks 😊 Harlow

I would do them, it is a great strengthening exercise for that area.

The best advice my doc gave me was to start Kegel exercises long prior to my RP. Great advice.

I am currently undergoing salvage radiation treatment. I have continued my exercise program including Kegel, resistance and heavy cardio. I started my exercise routine when I started ADT in February. I am doing well with minimal side effects from the radiation.

Thank for the feedback! I am doing the same! Harlow

Good question. I would keep doing them because it strengthens the pelvic floor. the organs that are supported by the pelvic floor are the bladder, uterus (for women) and bowel 🌹

I am and will continue to do them! 😊 Harlow
