A narrative review of pelvic floor muscle training in the management of incontinence following prostate treatment.

Background And Objective: Urinary incontinence following prostate treatment (IPT) is a common complication with corresponding negative impacts on quality of life. Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is a non-invasive treatment strategy to treat combat this clinical issue, and has been recognized by medical associations globally and increasingly supported by large bodies of literature. Accordingly, many studies demonstrate a significant benefit of pelvic floor muscle training to continence status and quality of life in men with incontinence following prostate treatment.
