Can Pelvic Floor Issues Cause Erectile Dysfunction? | Ben Thinking Podcast Ep. 150


Listen Later

Ben sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Antoinette Gagliard PT, DPT for an eye-opening conversation about men’s pelvic health and the symptoms many men experience but rarely talk about.

They break down what the pelvic floor actually does, how issues like pelvic pain, urinary leakage, and erectile dysfunction can be connected to muscle tension, nerve irritation, and poor breathing or lifting mechanics, and why mobility and proper movement often matter more than simply “doing kegels.” From internal pelvic exams to practical at-home strategies, this episode sheds light on a misunderstood but critical part of men’s health.
