I find that gaining weight makes it worse, being bloated makes it worse, being inflamed at all, PMS is when it flares up for me, to the point I have puked and passed out from pain. Pain after orgasm, during sex, after bowel movements, waking me up from sleep several times a night. Even with the medication I take for it, its often not enough (hyoscyamine) - I will have to also smoke marijuana AND take a hot bath. When it's really bad, it can be difficult to start to pee and maintain a stream. The pain radiated down my thighs to above the knees, in my bum, and lower back and internal/external lady bits. 🥺 I wish this condition were more well-known. It took quite a while to be diagnosed with. It can be completely debilitating. I was the pedestrian in a vehicle pedestrian accident, where I fractured my pelvis and believe this was the culprit for me. Plus years of PTSD, and living in a state of fear I assume can tense someone up a tad. This is not a pain I wish on anybody. Before I knew what it was, I thought it was something caused by my period or my girly, and even considered a full on hysterectomy. I am 36 now, and have never given birth and due to this condition probably never will.

Hello Krista! I'm a male but I believe I might be struggling with some form of PF dysfunction. I've been cleared by doctors as they did many tests (xray, MRI) and they have no clue what my problem is. I'm yet to see a PT specialist though. My issue has been happening for years now. Whenever I get se*ually aroused, I feel my entire perineum spasming up in cramp which is painful. It lasts for about a minute or two and then it goes away and I'm painfree for the entire day afterwards. The longer I go without any intimacy, the more it's painful once I get aroused again. Weirdly enough, this cramping pain also happened to me a few times while landing onto a hard surface from a reasonable height or stopping urinating mid-stream due to being startled by my colleague. Does any of this sound like a PF dysfunction to you please? Thank you for your opinion! ♥

I'll be start physical therapy soon. But until, wanted to do something on my own. My OB doctor prescribed a vaginal muscle relaxant... but it didn't work.

I am a male with pelvic floor issues. I constantly feel like im comtracting the area down there which has unfortunately caused issues like ED and in the past rectal issues. What confuses me is the breathing. I can perform all the strecthes in the videos i watch, but breathing in theough the nose and exhaling through the mouth to relax the pelvic floor. When I breathe in, I feel like thats when I am clenching, and when I breathe out is when I feel like I am relaxing down there or opening up so to speak. But it should be the opposite, correct? Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

More men should become educated in pelvic function and cues to help men connect to their inner core function. Women are more exposed to pelvic floor dysfunction due to pregnancy and child birth.

I note you dont give bladder inflammation patches as a symptom. Would the exercises help?
@KristaDennett6 ай бұрын
Are you referring to cystitis? Issues on the pelvic region affecting bladder, rectum, uterus or vagina can trigger muscular ‘trauma’ in the area where the muscles are tensing and reacting to the pain. This could create hypertonicity and therefore these release exercises could help. However, once tension is released the muscles will still need to learn to functional in their optimal way and lengthen and shorten with breath and movement.

Hi - why is it bad to have the legs up like a bridge position? You mentioned alignment, is it risking a posterior tilt? I've always exhaled fully via the mouth and sometimes felt the lower back touch the floor which I see you're avoiding? I'm a man if that matters - thanks 👍
@KristaDennett6 ай бұрын
Hi! There’s nothing wrong with having legs up in a bridge position. I often put feet on a bench or chair when a woman has a prolapse. If you’re feeling your lower back touch the floor, changes are you are exhaling and over using your rectus abdominals and obliques cause your pelvis to tilt.

How many minutes a day should you practice this breath work if you are experiencing urge incontinence?
@KristaDennett9 ай бұрын
Working on your breath daily is a start. It forms part of the process to connect with your inner core. However, the point of learning the breath is so you can be able to coordinate it with movements so the pelvic floor learn to strengthen in movement. Its job is to anticipate movement and maintain stability. Without learning core breath and connection to the inner core first it’s difficult to do the next step of adding movement. If you don’t have a hypertonic pelvic floor, you can voluntarily contract the pelvic floor on the exhale. Try doing 6-8 times but if you find the contractions start to weaken before you reach 8 stop. Let the muscles rest for a minute, then try another set of 6-8 reps.

Fallen bladder what exercises can we do
@KristaDennett9 ай бұрын
It depends. What is the severity of the prolapse, and the function of the pelvic floor muscles. I created a rehab program specific to prolapse after testing movements on clients at the clinic. It includes elevating the hips and feet in supine movements to take the weight of the bladder on the pelvic floor in order to help rebuild the inner core functional strength. Here’s the link to my rehab programs, you can review the one specific to prolapse. They are all designed to give you the base exercises and program to start retraining the muscles based on the type of dysfunction. www.trainerize.me/profile/kdfitnesscanada
