Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Pelvic Floor Muscle Physical Therapy

The treatment group will receive pelvic floor muscle training through a course of three one-hour sessions with a trained pelvic floor physical therapist in addition to the current standard information from their surgeon. The physical therapy sessions will be conducted at 1-6 weeks preoperative, 1 week postoperative, and 4-6 weeks postoperative and will be coordinated with surgeon appointments to minimize any inconvenience and travel time.

BEHAVIORAL

Control Group

At the cancer consultation visit, subjects will be educated by the urologist or urology team member regarding surgical and postoperative expectations. At this time, subjects will be provided verbal instruction and written information regarding Kegel exercises. Subjects in the control group may decide the duration and frequency of home exercise performance.
