BPH is a common (and frustrating) condition. It affects almost 50% of men by age 60. As you get older, your prostate can become enlarged, pressing on your urethra and on part of your bladder . It doesn’t mean you have prostate cancer or that you’ll get prostate cancer in the future. But it can sometimes cause problems, like bladder or kidney damage, and incontinence . If you have benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH ), you know the routine. You get out of bed in the middle of the night with an urgent need to pee, you stand over the toilet ... and nothing. All that comes out is a dribble. You still feel like you have to go. It may even be painful. And, the worst of it is, you’ll be back to the bathroom again before the night is over.

Go with the Flow

There are medications that can treat BPH, and if it becomes unmanageable, surgery can be an option. There are also exercises and stress management techniques you can practice on your own to help manage BPH and bring your urinary problem under control. Keep yourself active. Lack of physical activity can make you retain urine. Activities like walking, jogging, and swimming can help reduce urinary problems. Do Kegel exercises. Stand at or sit on the toilet and contract the muscle that allows you to stop and start the flow of pee. Hold it for 5 to 10 seconds. Do this 5 to 15 times, 3 to 5 times a day to help with bladder control and function. Meditate. Nervousness and tension cause some men to urinate more often. Try meditation along with exercise to help reduce stress. Try double voiding. When you do urinate, go once and then try to go again a few moments later. This will help you to fully empty your bladder, lessen the feeling of constantly having to pee, and maybe save you another trip to the bathroom.

Do Kegels shrink the prostate?

no. Although these exercises are great for pelvic floor muscles, sphincter function, and strength, they unfortunately do not address the problem of having a large prostate. As the prostate enlarges and grows, the bladder will compensate by adapting and learning to squeeze harder, more often, and sometimes too much.

austinurologyinstitute.com - Do Kegel Exercises Help Treat Enlarged Prostate? (BPH)

Kegel exercises are commonly and easily performed little workouts that may help with urinary symptoms like frequency, urgency, leakage, and loss of control. For men with BPH or enlarged prostates, they may also experience these symptoms. But do Kegels cure and treat BPH?

The short answer is… no.

Although these exercises are great for pelvic floor muscles, sphincter function, and strength, they unfortunately do not address the problem of having a large prostate. As the prostate enlarges and grows, the bladder will compensate by adapting and learning to squeeze harder, more often, and sometimes too much. When men develop BPH symptoms like frequency, urgency, waking up at night to urinate, weak stream, loss of urine control, or inability to urinate, it is likely the bladder reacting to blockage caused by the prostate. In extreme cases, the bladder may sometimes work hard for a period of time and then go into failure, causing retention of urine or the inability to urinate at all. While Kegel exercises may help alleviate some symptoms, they do not address the problem of the prostate itself. Most often than not, treatments focused on BPH and enlarged prostate will actually help treat and resolve these urinary symptoms in men. To avoid potential issues like bladder failure, it is important to undergo evaluation earlier, while symptoms may be mild. If you have any bothersome urinary symptoms at all it is important to discuss them with either your family physician or to undergo evaluation with a urologist. Dr. Shaw and the staff at Austin Urology Institute are highly rated and acclaimed urologists in the Austin and Greater Austin area who are available to help with and treat any urinary issues.
