has anyone out there had this test done to see if you are doing your kegels correctly. Just had my 1st psa test 2 months from surgery, 0.00 reading. Incontinence is real issue. I know 2 months is still early but I'm using 4 or 5 pads a day plus depends. I'm told 16 weeks is typical time frame before things get better.

I had the biofeedback done about a year after surgery. At this time, I was using about 3 pads/day.

It's a little embarrassing given that they put a couple of sensors very close to your anus, but it does tell you what you want to know about doing kegels properly.It is really a training session, which in my case covered about 6 visits.

Unfortunately, Kegels didn't do much to improve my situation even after training.

I finally ended up getting the AdVance Male Sling, which now has me totally dry. (See my previous posts)

Hey Jersey, I would say two months is a little early to start to worry. I would recomend a bio-feedback therapist to help you learn the correct way to work the pelvic floor muscles. There seems to be different ways they will do this. For my sessions they would have me put one sensor between the scrotum an anus. Then another one was placed on the lower abdomen. This way they could tell if I was contracting the pelvic floor or the stomach muscles. Unfortunately nothing worked for me and I finally had the AUS installed.

Good Luck on your recovery.
