Physical therapy: Recovery of continence after prostatectomy may take longer with increasing age at surgery. Other factors such as previous radiation, previous prostate surgery, or preexisting continence issues can make recovery more difficult. A dedicated course of pelvic floor rehabilitation may strengthen pelvic musculature and help with control.
