As a urologist, we usually encounter with two representative functional behaviors, namely, voiding and sexual function. These are not only im-portant but also complex and synchronized so if these functions are im-paired, patients need active functional rehabilitation to recover. These functional impairments should be recognized and corrected early be-cause they could not only cause direct damage to the affected func-tions but also have harmful consecutive consequences such as kidney damage due to voiding abnormality and self-esteem damage due to de-creased sexual function. Numerous rehabilitative methods are current-ly available, which help minimize the negative effects of these function-al impairments. In terms of voiding function, pelvic floor muscle exer-cise, biofeedback, functional magnetic stimulation, neuromodulation, and clean intermittent self-catheterization are representative rehabilita-tion modalities. In case of children, extra-attention should be paid be-cause this might affect their entire life. In impairment of sexual function, early intervention to maintain male erection is the main target of reha-bilitation to prevent corporal fibrosis and penile deformity and increase recovery chance in patients who underwent radical prostatectomy or major surgery. In this review, we will elucidate various rehabilitation methods in urology to further increase our understanding of the rehabil-itative characteristics of urology and widen our view of rehabilitation medicine.
