Rehabilitation After Prostate Cancer Surgery: Optimizing Recovery and Long-Term Outcomes
Prostate cancer surgery, most commonly a radical prostatectomy, is a critical intervention for treating localized prostate cancer. However, it can lead to substantial changes in urinary, sexual, and pelvic function. Many patients are unprepared for the downstream effects of surgery, which may include incontinence, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, and impaired core strength. Rehabilitation is not just supportive care, it is a proactive, evidence-based approach that improves quality of life and accelerates functional recovery.
