After prostate cancer surgery, many men experience temporary or ongoing bladder leakage. This trial is testing whether a structured approach—including one-on-one education from a nurse and direct referral to pelvic floor physical therapy—helps men recover bladder control faster and more completely than standard care alone. The goal is to see if better preparation and active follow-up make a real difference in quality of life after surgery.
Bladder leakage is one of the most common and distressing side effects of prostate surgery, but many men don't start pelvic floor exercises early or consistently enough to see good results. This trial exists to see if a more organized, hands-on approach—with nurse support and guaranteed access to a physiotherapist—can help more men regain continence sooner.

You will be randomly assigned to either standard care or the enhanced education and therapy program. If you're in the enhanced group, you'll have a one-on-one education session with a nurse before surgery, a check-in phone call 7–10 days after surgery, and direct connection to a physiotherapist for supervised pelvic floor exercises. Both groups will have follow-up visits at 6 weeks and 3 months. You'll track your pad use for 7 days at the 3-month mark to measure improvement.
