Welcome to Narrow Gate Physiotherapy’s Men’s Health Blog
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, our focus as a men’s pelvic health physiotherapist is to address common conditions affecting men’s health. This article will explore erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer, bladder dysfunction, and pelvic floor dysfunction, detailing how our physiotherapy services can provide effective support.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile dysfunction is a prevalent condition impacting men of various ages, marked by the inability to maintain an erection during sexual activity. Causes can range from stress and anxiety to medication side effects and underlying health issues like diabetes or heart disease.
As a dedicated men’s pelvic health physiotherapist, Narrow Gate Physiotherapy offers a supportive environment to discuss ED. Our physiotherapy services feature pelvic floor muscle training, which strengthens the muscles involved in erections. Enhancing these muscles can significantly improve the ability to maintain an erection.
Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, affecting the prostate gland responsible for semen production. Symptoms may include difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, blood in urine or semen, and pain in the lower back or thighs.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, we assist men diagnosed with prostate cancer in managing treatment side effects. Our men’s pelvic health physiotherapist services include pelvic floor muscle training to reduce urinary incontinence and improve sexual function post-treatment. We also offer guidance on lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to promote prostate health.
Bladder Dysfunction
Bladder dysfunction affects men across age groups and can lead to symptoms like frequent or urgent urination, incontinence, and incomplete bladder emptying. Causes include nerve damage, prostate enlargement, and bladder inflammation.
Our men’s pelvic health physiotherapist services at Narrow Gate Physiotherapy address bladder dysfunction through pelvic floor muscle training, which enhances bladder control. We also provide advice on fluid intake and bladder retraining and work with men with conditions like prostate enlargement to create tailored treatment plans.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Pelvic floor dysfunction involves the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs, including the bladder, prostate, and rectum. Symptoms include pelvic pain, urinary or fecal incontinence, and difficulty with bladder or bowel emptying.
At Narrow Gate Physiotherapy, our men’s pelvic health physiotherapist services include pelvic floor muscle training and biofeedback therapy, which helps men learn to control pelvic floor muscles effectively. We also offer lifestyle modification advice, focusing on diet and exercise to support overall pelvic health.
