Blogpost in collaboration with Myra Robson Clincal lead (physiotherapist) – PHABB – and founder of Pelvicroar.org
Pelvicroar and PhysiosOnline believe that all pelvic health issues are important, but we do recognise that women’s pelvic health gets more “airtime.” We therefore want to provide a variety of links to trusted sources of information, advice and training.
The key pelvic health conditions that we see in men include:
- Prostatectomy – urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction
- Persistent pelvic pain
- Sexual dysfunction
- Faecal incontinence
- Urinary incontinence
- Overactive bladder
- Constipation
These are some of our top tips for people to follow, resources to read, websites to browse:
