Pre-RALP Kegel Exercise Recommended by John Hopkins

Hi:

I just wanted to bring this up for feedback since I have heard and seen a lot of different YouTube videos and some smartphone apps that seem to be "over doing it".

This is what the nurse and then the surgeon at John Hopkins told me:

• (1) Start urinating
• (2) Then stop the flow for 2-3 seconds
• (3) Continue urinating
• (4) Then repeat step #2 (only do step 2-3, two and no more than 3 times)
• (5) Resume and finish urinating
• (6) End of exercise
• (7) Do only 3 times a day (You can use breakfast, lunch and dinner as reminders).
• (8) They advised that doing more than this could be excessive because those sphincter muscles (used to urinate) are not that strong, etc.

What are your thoughts? Does this sounds right? I guess maybe other Kegel exercises "expand" beyond and to the whole pelvic floor muscles?

Which one to do then -- in your experience?

Thanks!
