SUMMARY

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) on improving lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), postvoid residual volume (PVR), and quality of life in patients undergoing surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Patients who undergo BPH-related procedures, such as TURP or HoLEP, often experience postoperative symptoms including urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, dribbling, and voiding difficulty, which may negatively affect daily living. Pelvic floor muscle exercise is believed to enhance urethral sphincter function and pelvic floor support, thereby improving urinary control. This randomized study assigns participants to either an intervention group receiving PFME training or a control group receiving standard postoperative care. Differences in urinary outcomes between groups will be compared. The findings are expected to provide an accessible and cost-effective rehabilitation strategy to support postoperative recovery and quality of life.

Participants
Target number of participants: 46
Treatments
Experimental: Arm 1:Intervention Group (Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise Group)
Participants in this group will receive a structured pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) program.The exercise program is administered after the baseline preoperative assessment and continues through postoperative week 1, week 4, and week 8 follow-up assessments.
No_intervention: Arm 2:Control Group (Usual Care Group)
Participants in this group will receive standard perioperative care without pelvic floor muscle exercise training. Baseline preoperative assessments and postoperative follow-ups at week 1, week 4, and week 8 will be conducted in the same schedule as the intervention group.
