Ep 15 Incontinence and ED in Men - because guys have a pelvic floor too!

June 11, 2024

ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

Incontinence is never normal. Yet, with some types of cancers incontinence and erectile dysfunction in men can be fairly common. But just because pelvic floor issues may be common after surgery, doesn’t mean it’s normal, that it should just be accepted, or that it shouldn’t be addressed and fixed. We welcome back to the show a national expert in pelvic floor rehab, Erica Vitek. We talk about the myths, common problems and the barriers to care men may face when needing help with issues related to their pelvic floor. We’ll review steps to follow if you need help and what to expect on your first visit to a pelvic floor therapist. Guys, you have a pelvic floor too and you deserve treatment
