44. Men Have Pelvic Floors, Too: Common Issues, Misconceptions, and Finding a Path to Relief


Listen Later

In honor of Men’s Health Month, we wanted to shine a light on something that doesn’t get nearly enough air time: men’s pelvic health. 


While pelvic floor dysfunction is more commonly talked about in women’s health spaces, we’re seeing more and more male patients in our clinics. Most of them have waited months (or even years) before getting support. That has GOT to change!


In today’s conversation, we’re talking about men’s pelvic health, and the REAL issues they can experience when seeking care. Yep…men have pelvic floors, just like women! Unfortunately, many of their concerns get brushed off, misdiagnosed, or overly medicalized, when pelvic floor rehab could offer major relief AND long-term results. 


Our goal is to help uncover the root causes and support the body in a truly functional, sustainable way.


Whether you’re navigating symptoms yourself or want to support a loved one, we hope this episode brings awareness, encouragement, and empowerment. Let’s keep normalizing these topics, because everyone deserves to feel informed, heard, AND cared for!


In this episode, we’re covering:

  • Overview of the male pelvic anatomy
  • 5 common pelvic floor issues men experience (that often go ignored)
  • Why pelvic and testicular pain are more common than you think
  • Top reasons these issues often get overlooked or misdiagnosed
  • What pelvic floor PT and/or OT actually looks like for men
  • The biggest barrier keeping most men from getting the care they need
