2 out of every 4 men suffer from Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor problems in men may show up as changes in bowel, bladder or sexual health, and they may even result in pelvic pain. Many of these difficulties are due to underlying muscle dysfunction and can be treated by a pelvic floor physical therapist.
What Are Signs of Pelvic Floor Problems In Men?
Several signs and symptoms may indicate a pelvic floor problem in men, including:
- Frequent need to urinate. When you go, you may start and stop several times.
- Urinary or bowel accidents. (incontinence & difficulty controlling wnd))
- Chronic constipation or straining to have a bowel movement.
- Painful urination.
Pain in the lower back, genitals or rectum. - Erectile dysfunction.
- Rehab after prostate surgery (prostatectomy or TURP*)
- *TURP: transurethral resection of the prostate
These problems are often linked to weak pelvic floor muscles, although it is best to be assessed by a pelvic floor specialist to see if pelvic floor muscle training is appropriate. Our therapist can also help you!
