Consultation

Male pelvic floor

Men have a pelvic floor too: it takes part in continence, emptying the bowel and sexual function. Physiotherapy assesses these factors and can form part of recovery after prostate surgery.

What it is

Changes may come with urine leakage, perineal or genital pain, coordination difficulties or erection problems.

Physiotherapy assesses these factors and can form part of recovery after prostate surgery, pelvic pain care or sexual difficulties.

Who it is for

  • Men with incontinence, especially after prostate surgery or with dribbling after urinating.
  • Pelvic pain, specific muscle changes or sexual difficulties.

Good to know

  • Symptoms of urinary obstruction, infection or genital changes need medical assessment; physiotherapy does not replace urological work-up.
  • A rectal examination is only proposed when it adds relevant information, and with your consent.

Frequently asked questions

Before your visit

What people most often ask before booking this consultation at Traña.

Is the pelvic floor rehabilitated in men too?

Yes. Its function matters for bladder and bowel control and takes part in sexual function.

Can I come in before prostate surgery?

Yes. An assessment can help us understand the muscles and prepare strategies for recovery, in coordination with urology.

Does all prostate pain mean infection?

No. There are different causes of pelvic pain; the assessment helps us understand what is going on.

Can physiotherapy fix being unable to urinate?

That should not be assumed to be a muscle problem. Difficulty emptying the bladder needs medical investigation, and if you suddenly cannot urinate, urgent care.

Does this sound familiar? Let’s talk about your case.
