Men’s Health & Continence
​
​
Blokes rarely like to ‘make a fuss’, especially when it comes to ‘issues below the belt’, but as 1 in 9 men in Australia will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, side effects from treatment such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction cannot be ignored.
​
If surgery is required (a radical prostatectomy) a pre-operative pelvic floor strengthening program along with general strength and conditioning 4-6 weeks prior to surgery has been proven to give a faster return to continence and normal function after the operation.
