Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the impact of pelvic floor muscle training (PMFT) in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men after they received radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods: From November 2018 to September 2019, patients who underwent radical prostatectomy were assessed for eligibility. A total of 37 men were then randomly assigned to the experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG). The EG group received supervised exercise twice a week for 12 weeks, and the CG did not receive any intervention. To objectify the results obtained in both groups before and after the intervention, the authors assessed myostatin concentration. Moreover, the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26) was applied to assess the quality of life, and Beck’s Depression Inventory (BDI-II) was used to measure depression severity. Results: Study results demonstrated a statistically significant reduction of myostatin concentration in the EG following the treatment and no statistically significant differences in this parameter in the CG. In addition, a comparison of the EPIC-26 scores in the EG at the initial and final assessments revealed a statistically significant improvement in the quality of life in each domain. A comparison of the EPIC-26 scores in the CG at the initial and final assessments showed there is a statistically significant decline in quality of life in the “overall urinary problem” and “sexual” domain. A comparison of the BDI-II scores at the initial and final assessments showed a statistically significant decline in depressive symptoms in the EG and no statistically significant differences in the CG. Conclusions: PFMT is an effective treatment for urinary incontinence (UI) in men who received radical prostatectomy.

Urinary incontinence is one of the most common urological pathologies and reduces the quality of life of patients. In the development of stress and mixed urinary incontinence in women, an important part belongs to the failure of the pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor muscle training has changed the approach to treating these patients. Pelvic muscle training in combination with biofeedback (BFB) makes it possible to teach patients how to perform exercises correctly, increasing their effectiveness, as a result. This leads to a decrease in the duration of treatment and an improvement in the quality of life of patients. This review deals with mechanisms of urinary retention in women, and presents the pathogenetic rationale for the use of pelvic muscle training and biofeedback in the treatment of urinary incontinence in women. The possibilities of biofeedback therapy for urinary incontinence are shown, treatment methods are described in detail, and the analysis of current results of clinical trials is carried out. To date, it has been proven that the use of pelvic floor muscle training under the control of biofeedback is an effective, available and safe method of treating urinary incontinence inwomen.
