What to Expect Pre- and Post-Prostatectomy and How the eKegel Can Aid Recovery

Pre-Prostatectomy Expectations

Before undergoing a prostatectomy, patients are generally prepared for possible side effects, which may include urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction due to the removal of the prostate gland. It's common to receive guidance on pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting bladder control and erectile function.

Post-Prostatectomy Recovery

After surgery, recovery varies but may involve temporary or prolonged issues with incontinence and erectile function. Pelvic floor exercises, like Kegels, are often recommended to improve muscle strength and aid recovery.

How the eKegel Can Help

The eKegel device offers targeted pelvic floor muscle stimulation, enhancing the benefits of standard Kegel exercises through electric muscle stimulation (EMS). By delivering controlled impulses to the pelvic muscles, the eKegel encourages stronger, consistent contractions that speed up recovery of muscle tone and function. It can be particularly helpful in addressing post-surgical incontinence and supporting erectile function as healing progresses.

Incorporating the eKegel into a post-surgical recovery plan can help improve bladder control and sexual function more effectively than traditional exercises alone, providing a faster path to regaining confidence and quality of life.

Always Consult Your Doctor

Before using any device post-surgery, consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that it's safe for your specific recovery needs.
