Study Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate effects of external electric stimulating in individuals with urinary incontinence after prostatectomy.
Detailed Description
Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in men after prostotectomy, and patients' quality of life is adversely affected. In addition, electric stimulation (ES) can be played an important role in the management of UI . However, there are limitations in clearly demonstrating the effects of ES on men with UI after prostatectomy.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
UI symptoms
Time Frame: change from baseline at 8 weeks
The ICIQ_SF is a UI questionnaire that evaluates symptom type and severity. It consists of 6 questions in total and the total score is 3., 4., 5. It is obtained by adding the scores they get from the questions
Pad Test
Time Frame: change from baseline at 8 weeks
A 1-hour pad test will be applied. Beginning with an empty bladder, a pre-weighed sanitary napkin will be inserted into the underwear. The patient will be asked to drink 500 ml of water within 15 minutes and then remain active for half an hour. Then, various activities will be made to the patient to provoke involuntary urine leakage with a full bladder. weight will be measured.
Secondary Outcomes
- Life quality(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
- Evaluation of Treatment Satisfaction(after treatment (8th week))
- Evaluation of Subjective Improvement Perception(after treatment (8th week))
- Sexual Function(change from baseline at 8 weeks)
