Had a TURP done about a month ago and still cannot void on my own. My doc says I have a lazy bladder and it will take time to return to normal. Has anyone had luck retraining their bladder using the clamping method?

I had a TURP in April this year, pretty good outcome, although I have had to accept that I am never going to flow like a twenty year old again.
I have had success with bladder retraining, forget what the exercise is called but it's the muscles you'd use to cut off urine flow and breaking wind. Kneel on your hands and knees tighten these muscle and hold for as long as you can. Do three lots of ten. Took me a while to get use to doing it and you have to do it religiously three times a day. I also use timed voiding which seems to help.
Bladder spasms has been my main issue and accupunture has been good.
