Pelvic Floor Health, Diagnosis and Dysfunction in Men

There is no refuting that there are some distinct anatomical differences between cisgender men and women, but there hasn't been a great deal of public awareness that both groups can develop pelvic pain. Usually when you hear about pelvic pain or pelvic floor dysfunction, it often surrounds post-partum or post-hysterectomy care. But, studies have found that at least one in six cisgender men are dealing with persistent pain in the pelvis, making chronic pelvic pain syndrome the most common urologic diagnosis in men under 50.

In this two-part series, we will learn common Common pelvic floor diagnoses for men, learn how to properly screen and identify pelvic floor dysfunction(s) and when to refer to a pelvic floor physical therapist as well as why is it essential to establish a mutual relationship with a pelvic floor physical therapist, and how it can benefit your patients.

And who better than to tackle this topic than Brittany Sudbrook, PT, FAAOMPT- a fellowship-trained orthopedic manual physical therapist and owner of Empower Pelvic Health, a practice based in Southeast Houston, TX. Brittany received her Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Texas State University and is a fellowship-trained Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapist.She is a faculty member of the Manual Therapy Institute, a post-doctorate fellowship program teaching physical therapists advanced problem-solving and hands-on manual therapy skills and has taught continuing education courses to hundreds of physical therapists nationwide.
