Read full bio1. The Social Stigmas Stacked Against Men With Pelvic Dysfunction
Men have learned that society expects certain behaviors from them that potentially lead to poorer healthcare and life expectancy. We can make discussion and disclosure of pelvic health concerns easier by initiating conversations about common pelvic dysfunction and by offering care options.
2. Common Clinical Conditions in Men’s Pelvic Health
There is abundant literature relating to the postprostatectomy issues of erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence and their negative impacts on quality of life. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome is another common condition with which many providers may be familiar, but there are at least a dozen more types of pelvic pain for which men seek care. This chapter will highlight the common as well as the lesser-known categories of pelvic dysfunction to increase awareness for all providers.
3. Your Role in Men’s Pelvic Health
Regardless of the role we play in healthcare, men with pelvic dysfunction are among us every day, often suffering in silence. By acknowledging the common challenges men face in the domains of bowel dysfunction, bladder dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic pain, we can normalize discussions on pelvic health in every setting. Providers will gain a better understanding of the spectrum of care, from making an appropriate (and compelling) referral to becoming men’s health pelvic rehabilitation practitioners themselves.
