Pelvic floor dysfunction isn't just a women's health issue—it's something that can affect anyone with a pelvis, including men. Unfortunately, it’s often overlooked or misdiagnosed in men, leading to prolonged discomfort and frustration. Whether you’re dealing with pain, sexual dysfunction, or bladder issues, there’s hope and help available.
At Vital Pelvic Health and Wellness, we specialize in treating pelvic floor dysfunction in men, offering a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and addressing the root causes of your symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Men
1. Pain and Discomfort Pelvic floor dysfunction can manifest as pain or discomfort in various areas around the pelvis. This may include the hips, lower back, groin, lower abdomen, penis, scrotum, or rectum. It’s not uncommon for this pain to be persistent, affecting your daily activities and quality of life.
2. Constipation and Fecal Leakage Straining, incomplete emptying, or frequent bowel movements are not normal. These symptoms could be linked to a dysfunctional pelvic floor that isn’t allowing for proper bowel movements. In more severe cases, you might experience fecal leakage or smearing, further impacting your daily life.
3. Bladder Issues Difficulty emptying your bladder or experiencing bladder leakage can be signs of pelvic floor dysfunction. Normal urination should happen without strain, and any significant deviation from this could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention.
4. Sexual Dysfunction Pelvic floor dysfunction can have a significant impact on sexual health, leading to issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or pain during erection and ejaculation. The muscles of the pelvic floor play a critical role in sexual function, and when they aren’t working properly, it can lead to these frustrating symptoms.
5. Hernia Management and Prevention Men with hernias, especially those related to the groin, may benefit from pelvic floor therapy. Strengthening the pelvic floor can help in managing existing hernias and preventing new ones from developing.
6. Pre/Post Prostatectomy Rehabilitation If you’ve undergone prostate surgery, pelvic floor therapy can be an essential part of your recovery. It can help with managing incontinence and other post-surgical complications, ensuring a smoother, quicker recovery process.
Why Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Happens
Male and female pelvic anatomy is largely similar, with some key differences. However, the symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction are often quite similar between the sexes. The pelvic floor muscles can become tense, weak, or uncoordinated due to various factors such as chronic stress, poor posture, or previous surgeries. These issues can cause or exacerbate symptoms like constipation, bladder issues, or sexual dysfunction.
