five month check up

At 5 months, you would hope to see signs of improvement with your continence. However, everyone is different. You might be doing the kegels incorrectly. I would ask about that, and also see if physical therapy might help. I've heard there are therapists who have experience with PC surgery patients.

You should be doing a lot of walking as that helps strengthen the pelvic muscles.

I have read that improvement can happen suddenly. It is not always a gradual thing.

Here is hoping you will see positive changes before too long, at least by the 6 month mark.
