Therapy May Help Cut Incontinence After Prostate Surgery
(HealthDay): "HealthDay - TUESDAY, Jan. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly two-thirds of men who
have prostate cancer surgery experience urinary incontinence afterward,
but new research suggests that behavioral therapy can help lessen bladder
control problems for a significant number of them."
After eight weeks of behavioral therapy -- including fluid management, pelvic exercises and bladder control techniques -- the researchers found a 55 percent reduction in incontinence episodes.
It's not a perfect treatment, and it does require work, but it also provides a significant improvement in quality of life.
