When people think of pelvic floor issues, they often assume it’s a women’s health concern. In reality, men also have pelvic floors, and when these muscles don’t function properly, the impact can be just as disruptive. At Pelvic Pain Doc in New York City, Dr. Sonia Bahlani, fellowship-trained in sexual and pelvic pain, provides advanced treatments tailored to men experiencing pelvic pain or dysfunction. Her patient-focused approach helps restore comfort, daily function, and confidence. Here’s what men need to know about pelvic floor dysfunction and the specialized care available.
What Does the Pelvic Floor Do in Men?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis. In men, these muscles support the bladder and bowel, help control urination and bowel movements, and play an important role in sexual performance. When these muscles are too tight, weak, or uncoordinated, problems can develop, ranging from pelvic pain to urinary and sexual difficulties.
Signs of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Men
Pelvic floor dysfunction is often mistaken for other conditions, which can delay proper diagnosis. Key symptoms may include:
- Pain: Discomfort in the pelvis, lower back, perineum, or genitals.
- Urinary changes: Frequent urination, urgency, or difficulty fully emptying the bladder.
- Bowel issues: Constipation or painful bowel movements.
- Sexual difficulties: Pain during or after ejaculation, erectile challenges, or reduced satisfaction.
These symptoms are not something men need to live with, effective treatments are available.
