How Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Can Help Men

Dr. Leslie Wakefield, owner and therapist at Wellsprings Health, discusses men's pelvic health physical therapy. She describes how men's pelvic health is an underserved area in medicine, with a lack of awareness and stigma preventing men from seeking help. Men may experience issues with urination, defecation, pelvic pain, and sexual function. Pelvic health physical therapy can help with bladder pain syndromes, urgency and frequency, UTIs, continence after surgery, constipation, fecal smearing, fecal incontinence, pain during sex, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction. Having a male pelvic health therapist can provide a better understanding and empathy for men's specific needs. Men should not feel alone in these issues and should seek help to improve their quality of life.
