Interventions
EM Chair
Patients who randomised to intervention group (Arm A) will receive HIFEM assisted (BTL EMsella) pelvic floor muscle training for total 6 sessions (2 session per week, 30 minutes per session with modulated intensity) plus standard of care. The intervention will be started within 2 weeks after Foley Catheter removed. Patients will attend follow up for training and at 1, 3 and 6 month post-operatively.
Standard of care
Standard of care. Perioperative education for information related to prostatectomy and pelvic floor exercise training. Patient were advice to perform pelvic floor exercise at least 30 times per day
