Most men can begin gentle pelvic floor activation once the catheter is removed (usually 1–2 weeks after surgery), but always confirm with your surgeon. In the early recovery period, the focus is on gentle contractions, breathing coordination, and avoiding strain. As healing progresses, exercises are gradually intensified, targeting both endurance (to maintain continence throughout the day) and quick contractions (to prevent leakage with coughing or sneezing).

Strong, well-functioning pelvic floor muscles mean fewer leaks, better control, and yes… stronger erections. The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your entire life to see results. A few healthy habits can go a long way towards great pelvic floor health.
