He strongly recommended pelvic floor therapy to use trigger points/massages and such to relieve and relax the PF muscles so that proper nervous response can be restored. He also noted that he had seen very similar ED symptoms in other patients who had been suffering from hypertonic pelvic floors, and that therapy is an effective way to resolve these issues that result from such a tight PF.
Gotcha. Do you have any idea what might have triggered your PF spasm? Do you have HF as well? It's crazy how pelvic floor dysfunction isn't more common knowledge, I think it is wildly underdiagnosed in the male population
I'm pretty sure this all happened after holding a tight kegel while being erect, much like how you would normally edge I guess. Definitely fucked me up more than I would have ever imagined. never again!
Funny thing, I was misdiagnosed with prostatitis by another urologist down in south FL before I went to UF Shands. Regardless, I definitely don't have any issues or damage to prostate, bladder, testicles, or rectum areas. my penis isn't suffering from any weird shape, color, or temperature changes that are normally associated with HF/CPPS, and I don't have any pain in my pelvic region 99% of the time. when I do get pain, it's usually just involves a sharp tingling sensation.
Sorry to hear that man. I've spoken to a lot of people who got hf/cpps from kegeling particularly while masturbating. I get a tiny bit of pain along the left side of my perineum right where the left IC muscle is. No numbness or anything though luckily. Are you thinking of going down the implant route if pelvic floor physiotherapy doesn't help?
