Diagnosis of Severe ED - Pelvic Floor Dysfunction!

[Simbarn]

@Sean, yea he basically did a DRE and immediately detected that my pelvic floor muscles were extremely tight (not only that, but he also noticed that my muscles were constantly locked even when I tried to relax them, hence the spasm). He didn’t see or feel any issues with prostate or bladder, even though my previous urologist had misdiagnosed my case as prostatitis and had given me antibiotics and cialis to try (which were of no help in my case)

I have seen this mentioned a number of times regarding patients being misdiagnosed with prostatitis, when in fact it was muscles in spasm in the pelvic floor.
Fascinating to hear about your particular case.

Yes exactly, thanks! It’s just so crazy to be suffering severe ED symptoms from just a tight pelvic floor spasm. I’d be really grateful/relieved if solely this has been the issue all along.

Resurrecting this since I'm going thru a similar problem.

Since my RPP 20 mo ago, I'm still having incontinence issues and have been seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist for a couple weeks now. My problem is the pelvic floor is weak and not flexing and when like it should. I still get random leaking and very weak orgasms. The PT has me doing kegels, but also inserts/connects a vstim probe up my back side and lets the machine work for me. The PT stated I wouldn't see many results until the 8-10 week point.

I've been researching buying my own kegel vstim and have found 3 models with not much background data. Has anyone tried one of these units and have a recommendation? There are tons available for women. Or, did anyone who went thru this with a PT find good/bad results?
1. Kegel8 for men
2. K-Fit
3. Tenscare Kegelfit

Thx!

sorry, no idea brother when it comes to these devices. i've also been doing physical therapy, but mainly for the opposite reason (to help relax my apparently hypertonic pelvic floor). whatever effect(s) these PT sessions have on me are working out quite slowly and gradually as I'm starting to regain sensation/blood flow here and there.
