ExMI vs. Biofeedback PFMT for Post-Prostatectomy Incontinence
Sponsor: Tanta University
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a non-invasive magnetic stimulation treatment to standard pelvic floor exercises helps men regain bladder control faster after prostate surgery (HoLEP or bipolar enucleation). Some men experience temporary urine leakage after this type of surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either pelvic floor muscle exercises alone, or pelvic floor muscle exercises combined with magnetic stimulation sessions using a specialized chair. Researchers will measure how long it takes for bladder control to return, how much urine leakage occurs, and how each treatment affects participants' quality of life over 6 months of follow-up.

Interventions
Extracorporeal Magnetic Stimulation (ExMI)
Non-invasive pelvic floor and pudendal nerve stimulation delivered via a magnetic chair device, twice weekly for 20-30 minutes per session over 6-8 weeks.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT)
Supervised pelvic floor muscle training consisting of three daily sessions (10 slow contractions of 5-10 seconds and 10 rapid contractions per session), continued for 12 weeks postoperatively, with biofeedback assistance.
