When people hear about pelvic floor therapy, they often associate it with women’s health issues, but did you know that men can benefit from it as well? In our community, we’re proud to offer pelvic floor physical therapy to both men and women who may be struggling with pelvic floor dysfunction. This is a service that many aren’t aware of, but it can make a profound difference in the lives of men facing uncomfortable, embarrassing or even debilitating symptoms.
What Does Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Look Like in Men?
Men can experience a range of pelvic floor issues that can impact daily life. Some are similar to those experienced by women and some are unique to men. Common pelvic floor muscle-related conditions and symptoms are:
- Urinary Incontinence: urinary leakage with coughing, sneezing or with urgency.
- Erectile Dysfunction: this can include premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, difficulty achieving an erection, or retrograde ejaculation
- Pelvic pain: this can include testicular pain, penile pain, perineal pain, rectal pain, coccyx pain, abdominal pain, pain with erection or ejaculation or post-sexual pain.
- Post-prostatectomy rehabilitation
- Post-TURP rehabilitation
- Post-Hernia Repair rehabilitation
- Bowel dysfunction: difficulty with bowel movements or chronic constipation
- Chronic Prostatitis: a chronic pain condition without an infectious component.
These problems can arise from weakened or overly tight pelvic floor muscles due to injury, surgery, or chronic conditions such as asthma or diabetes. While pelvic floor dysfunction can affect physical health, it also impacts emotional well-being. Many men may avoid seeking help due to embarrassment or lack of awareness that effective treatment exists.
