Exercícios do pavimento pélvico Tät-m: Recupere o seu estilo de vida ativo após a cirurgia

The Tät®-m app is intended to support men with pelvic floor exercises in cases where these kinds of exercises have been recommended by medical staff. Urinary leakage upon coughing, jumping or sneezing – stress urinary incontinence – is common after an operation for prostate cancer (radical prostatectomy). It is recommended that pelvic floor exercises start before the operation is performed, and that the exercises continue after the operation. COLLABORATION WITH THE SWEDISH PROSTATE CANCER FEDERATION The Tät®-m app has been developed by doctors with many years of clinical experience. The app is provided in collaboration with the Swedish Prostate Cancer Federation. The Federation advocates for greater knowledge about prostate cancer and better prostate cancer care. THE EXERCISES The Tät®-m app provides a pelvic floor muscle training programme in six basic and six advanced levels, with increasing severity. Four different kinds of “contractions” are described. The app includes visual aids for each level of training, a statistics function and the ability to create reminders. The app also includes information about the pelvic floor, prostate cancer operations and urinary incontinence. There is information about factors that affect incontinence. RESULTS FROM RESEARCH Studies have shown that urinary leakage problems can decrease more rapidly with the help of pelvic floor exercises. The Tät®-m app– previously Tät®III - is developed by doctors and researchers at Umeå university. A study from Umeå University showed that the Tät®-m app facilitates pelvic floor exercises. ©2025 eContinence AB, Sverige, Tät®
