This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After prostate surgery, many men experience urinary incontinence (leaking urine), which can often improve with pelvic floor exercises—the same exercises used to strengthen muscles that control bladder function. This study tests whether receiving daily text message reminders to do these exercises helps men recover better and have fewer symptoms compared to men who just receive standard recovery instructions.
Pelvic floor exercises are known to help with incontinence after prostate surgery, but many patients struggle to stay consistent with their exercises at home. This study is testing whether simple, supportive text reminders can help men stick with their exercise routine and recover more successfully.

You will be randomly assigned to either receive daily text message reminders to perform pelvic floor exercises or standard recovery instructions without reminders. Both groups will do the same pelvic floor exercises after surgery. The text message group will receive reminder messages each day to help them stay consistent with their exercises. Over the study period, you will fill out brief surveys (via text) about your urinary symptoms to help researchers measure whether the reminders made a difference in your recovery.
