Chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men is a wide variety of symptoms, which can vary from urinary symptoms like urinary frequency, urgency, constipation. They can have pain with sitting, pain with sexual activity or sexual dysfunction as well. Some of these sexual symptoms that men can experience are pain with erection, pain with ejaculation, testicular pain, and erectile dysfunction as well.

There is a lot of causes for chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men. It can vary from history of heavy weight-lifting or biking or a sedentary lifestyle, sitting prolonged hours. Also just from stress. We carry a lot of stress in our pelvic floor as well. Diagnosis for chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men is usually from a history, really going into their urinary symptoms, their bowel symptoms, their sexual symptoms, their pain symptoms, and then a thorough, physical examination as well.

There are a lot of options for treatments for chronic pelvic pain syndrome in men. We can do medication management, physical therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy. We can do peripheral nerve blocks and trigger-point injections to the pelvic floor muscles as well.

Oftentimes, men and women are shy about these symptoms they're experiencing and don't know who to turn to. Our goal at Pelvic Rehabilitation Medicine is to make everyone feel comfortable. We provide a safe place to help them.
