I do my kegelsl, but I do not understand the link between strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and restoring proper, automatic functioning of the urinary sphincter. Can anyone explain this, please?

I had Robotic Prostatectomy on 14 March 09. 10 days later had my catheter removed. Presently when I go to washroom at night I can pass urine. But during daytime while standing walking or bending it leaks. I do Kegel about 3 times a day. What are chances of recovering. When I pass urine at night I can hold it in midstream.
