Prostratectomy
What is a prostatectomy?
A prostatectomy is a surgical procedure in which part or all of the prostate gland is removed. This surgery is typically performed when the prostate is enlarged or affected by conditions such as tumours, which can block the normal flow of urine through the urethra.
Complications Following a Prostatectomy
One of the most common complications after a prostatectomy is urinary incontinence. This can be a distressing issue, significantly affecting quality of life even in individuals who have successfully undergone treatment for prostate conditions, including prostate cancer.
How Physiotherapy Can Help After a Prostatectomy
Physiotherapy plays an important role in managing urinary incontinence following a prostatectomy. Techniques commonly used include:
- Pelvic floor muscle training: Designed to restore bladder control and reduce incontinence.
- Biofeedback: A teaching tool that helps ensure correct contraction of the pelvic floor muscles.
These techniques can be highly effective, but the success of physiotherapy also depends on the patient’s motivation and adherence to the prescribed programme. At Ace Physio Sports, our specialist physiotherapists create personalised programmes to support recovery and improve quality of life after prostate surgery.
Summary
A prostatectomy involves the complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate gland. One common complication after this procedure is urinary incontinence, which can be distressing and impact quality of life. Physiotherapy, including targeted pelvic floor exercises, can significantly help restore bladder control and improve overall function. At Ace Physio Sports, our specialist physiotherapists provide personalised programmes to support recovery and enhance long-term pelvic health.
