Hi Dave, I just watched the video. I, like you just had my prostate removed due to cancer and the pathology report came back clear. I had the catheter taken out yesterday, and couldn't do any kegel exercises because of a UTI thanks to the cath. Anyway, the amount of incontinence is surprising. I'm sure these videos will help out, thank you
I’m thinking about having this procedure too. I’m in the monitor phase but it’s still stressful. With anything I’m scared but I do want to prolong my existence.

Hi @lawrencebaker6233 thank you for the comment, I'm glad this video was helpful to you. I'm wishing you all the best with your upcoming surgery. You've got this!
Anyone who is looking for PROPER kegal advice for leaks or e.d. Eric is by far the best advice on all RUclips channels. I have studied almost all his videos and did a personal consulting with him, and trust me, he is good. He really knows his stuff, and his advice is extremely helpful and professional. You will learn a lot of useful information from all his videos.
I am a Jamaican and I am recovering from prostate cancer I did a biopsy a couple of months ago do you have any advice for me my name is Noel Bryan thanks very much
I turned 65 and just started. Having leakage thought it was a part of getting older , I have heard many other guys talk about , thank you your video educated and empowered me to fix it . Amazing ❤
I want to thank you for showing/telling us men how to properly do kegels. No one ever explained it so plainly before, and now I get it. I am saving this video for future reference. And I will be subscribing.

Hi Eric, I am 69 and had a radical prostatectomy 7 months ago. I had to have my bladder neck stretched a week ago because my urine flow was very weak and my bladder was so irritated. The procedure was a success and of course the leakage has increased a bit. This the best explanation I have seen so far and makes absolute sense. I have tried and have given up because I had no success. I am sure this will work. Thanks for a great video.

Thank you Eric for the first comprehensive video on the internet about "how to make certain that you activate the correct muscles" when attempting Kegel exercises. Your palepetation tip is the only one that I have seen/heard that actually teaches me to find the muscles. Now I need to learn how to maintain and strengthen those contractions.
You're welcome Peter. I'm glad you found this video helpful. I have crafted my own 8-week kegels program that removed all the guess work. If you're interested, here's the link to my program.

"I wanted to make a video that covers the nuts and bolts..." I see what you did there! Seriously, thank you so much for this video. It is straightforward and is the only one I've seen that gives you an actual method to make sure you are doing kegels correctly. I have ED and have also recently had some leakage issues, so I love that you've done this video. The only question you didn't answer was how many contractions to do and how many times per day to do them. Again, thank you so much. I have liked a subscribed.
Thank you for this comment, I really appreciate the kind words. I’ve received this feedback regarding an actual program to follow a lot under this video. I’m creating a program now and will have it ready soon for you to caress if you wish. I’ll send you another reply once it’s ready 💪

Thank you for this great video. I recently got my prostate removed due to prostate cancer. I started doing Kegel exercises but wasn't sure if I was doing it correctly. Thanks to your video, I know I am doing it correctly. I can feel the muscle contraction while following your video. By the way, my cue is - to stop the flow of pee, and boom, there it is. Thanks a million!
Thank you so much for easy to follow and understand instructions. It’s been 5 weeks since my prostate surgery and 3 weeks after catheter removal. Was starting to feel I’d be stuck in adult diapers for a long time. Hopefully, I’ll start the exercises and slow down the leakage.
Thank you, Dr. Eric! At 61 I benefit from this. I have little sensitivity and feeling in the fingers you demonstrate due to Carpal Tunnel but can feel the difference in release. Thats what i take away from this video,as well as the contraction process.
I have ED with 3/10 blood flow, very bad. Your kegel exercises are far better than any explanation I have watched or been told, thanks. I am soon starting my third treatment round of Shockwave therapy. Blood flow into is greatly increasing, however I cannot get near to being firm. And any compression very easily squeezes all blood out of my Johnson, so the valves in my veins are not properly closing at all. In my treatment I take many supplements, including sildenafil and tadalafil daily. This has greatly helped. But I am still nowhere close to being firm. And penetration is still impossible. Though I spent 37+ years being a parental Caregiver, working in my scientific field, but unable to date. With little personal time as well, and being so busy I would be awake 48-60 hours once to 3 times every week for 15-18 years. I am 67, and have recently been found by another for romantic and emotional dating. First. How do I get the vein valves to properly close? Second. Why are the two roots of the cavernosum, where the blood flows in, NOT treated by Shockwave therapy? This seems a failure in treatment protocol. If an electrical item is broken, you do not fix part of it and ignore the major area. Say where electrical input comes into the device. That is lazy, inept work. You repair the. Entire part or device. I can find no written information nor can any health professional explain this reason for not treating such an important area and input blood flow, including doctors, nor treatment to close the vein valves. ED doctors, professional treatment technicians, nor anyone in this industry. How can I get both of these treated and addressed? Everyone sloughs this off to "that is the treatment protocol" and discussion is dropped flat. PM me, as I have little free time to check everything. If you have the answers, you will have my extreme gratiude. Any reply is appreciated greatly, and thank you!
Very informational, I'm a 50yr young man and as of a few months ago I started experiencing the leakage and lack there of a little ED. I'm subscribed here now thanks
Man you are a teacher much more than you are a doctor. This is the best explanation i have so far come across about Kegel. Makes it so easy and friendly. Wonderful! I certainly want him to hold my hand through the journey.

13:46 I think I understand why you say to monitor this with the hand down there. Maybe because most men are unaware of their pelvic floor. I guess i was surprised by your reaction because I think women seem to be aware of theirs and can clearly feel the squeeze and release without touching. Well, a good teacher realizes that they have to start with the basics, identifying the target area. I did not know that men had a pelvic floor. Thank you for sharing.

A good saying I heard that helps you to locate your pelvic muscle for beginners is " nuts to your guts." This means trying to lift your nuts (testicles) upward toward your gut (stomach). This may help a lot. It's very easy to visualize and helps you avoid using stomach muscles by mistake.
Thank you sir , this video helped me a lot- I’m 2 WK’s out of Prostate Removeal surgery for cancer and I having leaking and in incontinence, i’m glad I found this , now I know ho to do this properly!!!! I only question is how many times a day do I need to do this?????
Hey there Kevin, I'd start with three times per day: sitting in the morning x10, sitting at lunch x10, and then lying in bed at night x10.

thank you Dr eric after having RALP at the start of lockdown i was sent home with a exercise sheet which i stuck to with little effect , i then had a month of radiotherapy in 23 as i had secondary, i continued to exercise but nothing was happening, i was sent to a physio and given more exercises but i still was not making any progress, i was getting down about it thinking that was it but came across your video and the way you explained it i thought give it a go not expecting much but i am 6/7 weeks in and i have pretty much dried up bar the odd leak twisting or bending which i am confident now i can stop continuing with your plan, thank you again doctor you will not know how much it means.
If it helps simon, Deb, I made sure to watch all the ads in the video because i can't think of a better way to show my support. I'm very much confident in my excel skills, thanks to you guys.
Learned a lot from your video. How many times a day? Seems like some guys say do it 10 times a day. But others disagree, saying overworking the pelvic floor can cause even more problems.

I’m here because I was actually researching proper breath support for singing. I found a video where the instructor said core engagement is improper because of excess thoracic pressure and that the proper way is by engaging your pelvic floor during exhales. It seems like there is a lot of truth in practicing that, but the part that gets confusing is that sometimes exhaling for singing can be upwards of 15-30 seconds. Which seems unrealistic or dangerous for a Kegel. Have you encountered a question like this before?
Tal vez uno de los mejores videos mejor explicados de RUclips con sencillez aunque bien detallistas y muy creativamente al punto que incluso con el inconveniente de la traducción lo he podido seguir y comprender. Asi que solo un enorme gracias, mi like para ud.suscrito.
Thank you for this video. I am about to start prostate cancer radiotherapy, and urine leakage can often be a possible problem after so. I am going to start to strengthen the muscles before the procedure and hopefully avoid issues.
Bruce, I'm wishing you all the best. You got this! Let me please if you would like help with the recovery afterwards. You can email me at hello@drericleckie.com
Yes they are essential exercises to learn and master prior to your operation. Also after your operation you will have a catheter for a period of time and in that time you must not carry on with your normal activities such as golf, driving or excessive exercise. You will stretch the internals and contribute to incontinence. Stay home until the day the catheter has to come out. Relax.
Thank you for the patience to properly explain. I have to admit I saw a number of videos about this before yours and I was still not sure what and how. Your method is so simple and efficient. I saw someone talking about 2 types of pelvic muscle tissue and different methods of training them . Is that true ?
I'm glad you found the video helpful. No, I'm a fan of not over complicating things. Focus on doing quality reps and I personally do not concern myself with the different types of muscle tissue. You can't even see the muscle so why worry about the types of muscle tissue?

The tip of contracting the muscle after breathing out was precious: I could feel it extremely better that something is really going on down there. Now, I just wonder how many repetitions should I do and how will I know the muscle reached a good physical condition? Note that I don't have leakage problems and I intent to perform the exercises preventively.
That's great to hear. Good for you being preventative- doing this will save you a few headaches down the track. I do have a complete Kegels exercise guide you can follow. If you're interested, you can check it out here: www.drericleckie.com/courses/kegels-for-men-the-ultimate-step-by-step-8-week-pelvic-floor-strengthening-program
Thank you for handling this topic with dignity and respect. And for walking through the process...WITH the appropriate male parts. Always a bit disconcerting and confusing watching and listening to women tell men how to do this. Thanks again!! Much appreciated.
Thanks, Dr Eric. Starting out, how many reps per set? How many sets? And how many time a day? And progressing to endurance, same questions. Also, is there a benefit to this before an RP vs after the operation? Thanks again, this was really clear.
Great questions! I put together an affordable 8-week pelvic floor routine for you to follow along. I progress you through every contraction type and the different positions taking the guess work out of it for you. The feedback so fa has been really positive. I'm a big believe in starting your kegels before surgery as it cuts down the recovery time afterwards. If not, that's okay. Start after the surgery. The key is that you just need to start and progress appropriately. Check out my kegels program here: www.drericleckie.com/courses/kegels-for-men-the-ultimate-step-by-step-8-week-pelvic-floor-strengthening-program
Thank you Dr. Just s few questions; how many of these should I do in a session and how many times a day? And also do you recommend any type of especific excercise to strengthen these muscles? Thank you
So for someone looking to re-strengthen their pelvic floor - can you make a video with a "workout routine" and progressions with sets, reps and then eventually do kegel holds with sets and reps? Or if you can, what do you think of this routine below: Workout 3 times a week and start with: Monday, Wednesday, Friday for example 3 sets x 6 reps normal kegels for 2 weeks. 3sets x 8 reps normal kegels for another 2 weeks. 3sets x 10 reps normal kegels for another 2 weeks. So less than a month of normal kegels. Once your doing 3x10 normal reps of contracting and releasing, proceed to kegel holds workout. Same as above, workout 3 time a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday for example 3 sets x 6 reps of 2 seconds hold for 2 weeks. 3 sets x 6 reps of 4 seconds hold for 2 weeks. 3 sets x 6 reps of 6 seconds hold for 2 weeks. Then, after this 2 month workout your pelvic floor should be pretty strong and balanced. What do you think Dr. Eric?
I think you hit the nail on the head here. I like your proposed routine, a couple minor modifications. In weeks 3 and 4 of your normal kegels phase, change up the positions ex: one set do it lying down, the next set do it sitting in a chair. In weeks 4 and 5 add in a standing position for you final set. DO the same progression with the holds. Let me know how you go and thank you for supporting the channel :)

Doc, I tried this & pushing any pressure on my pereneum 8 weeks Following radical prostatectomy is still painful. That is a very sensitive area right now. So maybe that Isn't the best idea for me at this point. Is there another way to tell that you are definitely working the right muscle when doing Kegels? I've been following the nurse's advice since Surgery, but only going by muscle memory from when she had me hooked up to a readout machine. Today is the first time I actually probed and found my pelvic floor muscle with 2 fingers.

Hi Eric, I am 69 and had a radical prostatectomy 7 months ago. I had to have my bladder neck stretched a week ago because my urine flow was very weak and my bladder was so irritated. The procedure was a success and of course the leakage has increased a bit. This the best explanation I have seen so far and makes absolute sense. I have tried and have given up because I had no success. I am sure this will work. Thanks for a great video.
That is great to hear, thank you for leaving this comment. Keep up the great work and if you need personalized help, feel free to reach out for an online consultation.

Thank you Eric for the first comprehensive video on the internet about "how to make certain that you activate the correct muscles" when attempting Kegel exercises. Your palepetation tip is the only one that I have seen/heard that actually teaches me to find the muscles. Now I need to learn how to maintain and strengthen those contractions.
You're welcome Peter. I'm glad you found this video helpful. I have crafted my own 8-week kegels program that removed all the guess work. If you're interested, here's the link to my program.

I have a frequent urination issue and my doctor today suggested I try these exercises. Thank you for demonstration.
Thankyou for the advice for male folk will practice. Watching from Papua New Guinea
"I wanted to make a video that covers the nuts and bolts..." I see what you did there! Seriously, thank you so much for this video. It is straightforward and is the only one I've seen that gives you an actual method to make sure you are doing kegels correctly. I have ED and have also recently had some leakage issues, so I love that you've done this video. The only question you didn't answer was how many contractions to do and how many times per day to do them. Again, thank you so much. I have liked a subscribed.
Thank you for this comment, I really appreciate the kind words. I’ve received this feedback regarding an actual program to follow a lot under this video. I’m creating a program now and will have it ready soon for you to caress if you wish. I’ll send you another reply once it’s ready 💪

Thank you. Excellent presentation. Much appreciated Doc
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for being clear and precise!
Thank you for this great video. I recently got my prostate removed due to prostate cancer. I started doing Kegel exercises but wasn't sure if I was doing it correctly. Thanks to your video, I know I am doing it correctly. I can feel the muscle contraction while following your video. By the way, my cue is - to stop the flow of pee, and boom, there it is. Thanks a million!
Great to hear Joel! Thanks for leaving this comment and keep up the great work my friend 💪
Thank you so much for easy to follow and understand instructions. It’s been 5 weeks since my prostate surgery and 3 weeks after catheter removal. Was starting to feel I’d be stuck in adult diapers for a long time. Hopefully, I’ll start the exercises and slow down the leakage.
Very helpful video, the best so far I have seen and fully explained the best way one can.
Thank you so much for your great video, sir.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks!
Thank you William, I appreciate you 🤝
Thank you, Dr. Eric! At 61 I benefit from this. I have little sensitivity and feeling in the fingers you demonstrate due to Carpal Tunnel but can feel the difference in release. Thats what i take away from this video,as well as the contraction process.
Amazing, keep up the great work
I have ED with 3/10 blood flow, very bad. Your kegel exercises are far better than any explanation I have watched or been told, thanks. I am soon starting my third treatment round of Shockwave therapy. Blood flow into is greatly increasing, however I cannot get near to being firm. And any compression very easily squeezes all blood out of my Johnson, so the valves in my veins are not properly closing at all. In my treatment I take many supplements, including sildenafil and tadalafil daily. This has greatly helped. But I am still nowhere close to being firm. And penetration is still impossible. Though I spent 37+ years being a parental Caregiver, working in my scientific field, but unable to date. With little personal time as well, and being so busy I would be awake 48-60 hours once to 3 times every week for 15-18 years. I am 67, and have recently been found by another for romantic and emotional dating. First. How do I get the vein valves to properly close? Second. Why are the two roots of the cavernosum, where the blood flows in, NOT treated by Shockwave therapy? This seems a failure in treatment protocol. If an electrical item is broken, you do not fix part of it and ignore the major area. Say where electrical input comes into the device. That is lazy, inept work. You repair the. Entire part or device. I can find no written information nor can any health professional explain this reason for not treating such an important area and input blood flow, including doctors, nor treatment to close the vein valves. ED doctors, professional treatment technicians, nor anyone in this industry. How can I get both of these treated and addressed? Everyone sloughs this off to "that is the treatment protocol" and discussion is dropped flat. PM me, as I have little free time to check everything. If you have the answers, you will have my extreme gratiude. Any reply is appreciated greatly, and thank you!
Very informational, I'm a 50yr young man and as of a few months ago I started experiencing the leakage and lack there of a little ED. I'm subscribed here now thanks
Welcome Marcus 🤝
@DrEricLeckie good morning Doc appreciate all your physical therapy and health videos as well as you very much needed mental quotes 🙏🏾
Great video! Thanks you so much. I'm a total rookie at this as, I'm just in recovery from my surgery. It's my first step. All my appreciation.
Wishing you luck, Steve. Reach out to me if you need further assistance hello@drericleckie.com
Man you are a teacher much more than you are a doctor. This is the best explanation i have so far come across about Kegel. Makes it so easy and friendly. Wonderful! I certainly want him to hold my hand through the journey.
So glad to hear! I have made a downloadable kegels program for you to follow if you're interested: www.drericleckie.com/courses/kegels-for-men-the-ultimate-step-by-step-8-week-pelvic-floor-strengthening-program
Thank yo for the honest and practical advice and demonstration. Im going to try this and see what it does
13:46 I think I understand why you say to monitor this with the hand down there. Maybe because most men are unaware of their pelvic floor. I guess i was surprised by your reaction because I think women seem to be aware of theirs and can clearly feel the squeeze and release without touching. Well, a good teacher realizes that they have to start with the basics, identifying the target area. I did not know that men had a pelvic floor. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you! So well presented.
Glad it was helpful and thanks for your support 🤝
A good saying I heard that helps you to locate your pelvic muscle for beginners is " nuts to your guts." This means trying to lift your nuts (testicles) upward toward your gut (stomach). This may help a lot. It's very easy to visualize and helps you avoid using stomach muscles by mistake.
THis is actually my favourite "cue" to contract the pelvic floor too! Thanks for the comment Andy

Thank you sir , this video helped me a lot- I’m 2 WK’s out of Prostate Removeal surgery for cancer and I having leaking and in incontinence, i’m glad I found this , now I know ho to do this properly!!!! I only question is how many times a day do I need to do this?????
Hey there Kevin, I'd start with three times per day: sitting in the morning x10, sitting at lunch x10, and then lying in bed at night x10.

Hi Kevin, I was wondering about that also. Did you get an answer?
This is truly the most honest and video on kegels. I felt it and understand what I'm doing. Great. Thanks

thank you Dr eric after having RALP at the start of lockdown i was sent home with a exercise sheet which i stuck to with little effect , i then had a month of radiotherapy in 23 as i had secondary, i continued to exercise but nothing was happening, i was sent to a physio and given more exercises but i still was not making any progress, i was getting down about it thinking that was it but came across your video and the way you explained it i thought give it a go not expecting much but i am 6/7 weeks in and i have pretty much dried up bar the odd leak twisting or bending which i am confident now i can stop continuing with your plan, thank you again doctor you will not know how much it means.
Hi David, thank you for leaving this comment. It’s great to hear you’re in a better place with your leakage. Reading this has made my day!
If it helps simon, Deb, I made sure to watch all the ads in the video because i can't think of a better way to show my support.
I'm very much confident in my excel skills, thanks to you guys.
Amazing excellent video thank you Dr Eric 🎉👍👌👊💯
You're welcome!

This is one excellent explanation. Thanks much.
Thank you, for such a great explanation of how to properly perform this exercise. Best video on this platform.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for leaving me this comment :)
Learned a lot from your video. How many times a day? Seems like some guys say do it 10 times a day. But others disagree, saying overworking the pelvic floor can cause even more problems.

Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise, 👌🏿🌹
High quality explanation🎉
I’m here because I was actually researching proper breath support for singing. I found a video where the instructor said core engagement is improper because of excess thoracic pressure and that the proper way is by engaging your pelvic floor during exhales. It seems like there is a lot of truth in practicing that, but the part that gets confusing is that sometimes exhaling for singing can be upwards of 15-30 seconds. Which seems unrealistic or dangerous for a Kegel. Have you encountered a question like this before?
Thanks, Doctor Eric ...
Tal vez uno de los mejores videos mejor explicados de RUclips con sencillez aunque bien detallistas y muy creativamente al punto que incluso con el inconveniente de la traducción lo he podido seguir y comprender. Asi que solo un enorme gracias, mi like para ud.suscrito.
Great video, thanks. Please make sure the candle is h not burning the plant on the mantel.
Don't worry, no plants were harmed in the making of this video haha
Thank you for this video. I am about to start prostate cancer radiotherapy, and urine leakage can often be a possible problem after so. I am going to start to strengthen the muscles before the procedure and hopefully avoid issues.
Great idea, John. I am wishing you well and please reach out if you need any assistance during your journey hello@drericleckie.com
Yep- you explained it the best and it works perfect. Thank you, sir.
You're welcome! I glad it helped you
Everything done 👍 As I've just discovered you, which is the next step/video. Thank you ❣️
Firstly, welcome to the channel! I have a bunch more videos on my channel for the men's health symptoms you're experiencing
Thank you! I have an upcoming appointment to remove my prostate this is awesome information.
Bruce, I'm wishing you all the best. You got this! Let me please if you would like help with the recovery afterwards. You can email me at hello@drericleckie.com
Yes they are essential exercises to learn and master prior to your operation. Also after your operation you will have a catheter for a period of time and in that time you must not carry on with your normal activities such as golf, driving or excessive exercise. You will stretch the internals and contribute to incontinence. Stay home until the day the catheter has to come out. Relax.
Thank you for the patience to properly explain. I have to admit I saw a number of videos about this before yours and I was still not sure what and how. Your method is so simple and efficient. I saw someone talking about 2 types of pelvic muscle tissue and different methods of training them . Is that true ?
I'm glad you found the video helpful. No, I'm a fan of not over complicating things. Focus on doing quality reps and I personally do not concern myself with the different types of muscle tissue. You can't even see the muscle so why worry about the types of muscle tissue?
This is helpful . Thank You Dr
Great to hear!
Thank you for sharing this Information. What I'd like to know is how many time a day should this be done?😀😃😄👍👍👍
Hi Frank, it really depends on your situation. If you’re recovering from a prostate surgery, doing them a few times per day will help greatly.
Hey there, I have just released my official step-by-step Kegels program for you to follow 👉www.drericleckie.com/courses/kegels-for-men-the-ultimate-step-by-step-8-week-pelvic-floor-strengthening-program
Thank you so much ; this has been a big help fof me.
Great to hear! Thanks for commenting
The tip of contracting the muscle after breathing out was precious: I could feel it extremely better that something is really going on down there. Now, I just wonder how many repetitions should I do and how will I know the muscle reached a good physical condition? Note that I don't have leakage problems and I intent to perform the exercises preventively.
That's great to hear. Good for you being preventative- doing this will save you a few headaches down the track. I do have a complete Kegels exercise guide you can follow. If you're interested, you can check it out here: www.drericleckie.com/courses/kegels-for-men-the-ultimate-step-by-step-8-week-pelvic-floor-strengthening-program

Glad you enjoyed the video 🤝
Thank you for handling this topic with dignity and respect. And for walking through the process...WITH the appropriate male parts. Always a bit disconcerting and confusing watching and listening to women tell men how to do this. Thanks again!! Much appreciated.
Thanks for your comment James. I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thank you Dr . Using two fingers exercise what is q and each exercise timing in seconds and per day exercise in seconds.
Excellent explanation & demo!
Glad it helped!
Thanks, Dr Eric. Starting out, how many reps per set? How many sets? And how many time a day? And progressing to endurance, same questions. Also, is there a benefit to this before an RP vs after the operation? Thanks again, this was really clear.
Great questions! I put together an affordable 8-week pelvic floor routine for you to follow along. I progress you through every contraction type and the different positions taking the guess work out of it for you. The feedback so fa has been really positive. I'm a big believe in starting your kegels before surgery as it cuts down the recovery time afterwards. If not, that's okay. Start after the surgery. The key is that you just need to start and progress appropriately. Check out my kegels program here: www.drericleckie.com/courses/kegels-for-men-the-ultimate-step-by-step-8-week-pelvic-floor-strengthening-program
Thanks, hope I can get this right.
I'll try out your prescription. Thankyou.
Did it work?
Thank you Dr. Leckie
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot, really good advice
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you Dr. Just s few questions; how many of these should I do in a session and how many times a day? And also do you recommend any type of especific excercise to strengthen these muscles? Thank you
So for someone looking to re-strengthen their pelvic floor - can you make a video with a "workout routine" and progressions with sets, reps and then eventually do kegel holds with sets and reps?
Or if you can, what do you think of this routine below:
Workout 3 times a week and start with: Monday, Wednesday, Friday for example
3 sets x 6 reps normal kegels for 2 weeks.
3sets x 8 reps normal kegels for another 2 weeks.
3sets x 10 reps normal kegels for another 2 weeks.
So less than a month of normal kegels.
Once your doing 3x10 normal reps of contracting and releasing, proceed to kegel holds workout.
Same as above, workout 3 time a week: Monday, Wednesday, Friday for example
3 sets x 6 reps of 2 seconds hold for 2 weeks.
3 sets x 6 reps of 4 seconds hold for 2 weeks.
3 sets x 6 reps of 6 seconds hold for 2 weeks.
Then, after this 2 month workout your pelvic floor should be pretty strong and balanced.
What do you think Dr. Eric?
I think you hit the nail on the head here. I like your proposed routine, a couple minor modifications. In weeks 3 and 4 of your normal kegels phase, change up the positions ex: one set do it lying down, the next set do it sitting in a chair. In weeks 4 and 5 add in a standing position for you final set. DO the same progression with the holds. Let me know how you go and thank you for supporting the channel :)

Helpful Doc
Doc, I tried this & pushing any pressure on my pereneum 8 weeks Following radical prostatectomy is still painful. That is a very sensitive area right now. So maybe that Isn't the best idea for me at this point. Is there another way to tell that you are definitely working the right muscle when doing Kegels? I've been following the nurse's advice since Surgery, but only going by muscle memory from when she had me hooked up to a readout machine. Today is the first time I actually probed and found my pelvic floor muscle with 2 fingers.
Awesome videoml. Thanks Doc
You're welcome!
You are amazing, but get straight to the point. I wish you success
