Incontinence is commonly believed to be a female problem, but 18% of cases occur in men.

Prostate surgery can cause complications in the male urinary system and incontinence may result. Because the prostate offers support to the male bladder and urethra, many men do not realize that the sphincter muscles are weak until the prostate is removed Stress incontinence can occur after surgery as a result of weakened pelvic floor muscles and/or damage to part of the sphincter muscle in the bladder and is problematic during coughing, sneezing or athletic activity. Urge incontinence is urine leakage with urgency and occurs in 25% of men who have had prostate surgery. An enlarged prostate may also cause blockage which over-stretches the bladder, leading to leakage.

Another problem that can occur following prostate surgery is erectile dysfunction. This can be due to damage to nerves in the penis or, again, weak pelvic floor muscles that are now incapable of supporting an erection without the aid of the prostate.

Some men who may have been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis, a painful condition, are now being re-diagnosed as having interstitial cystitis and/or pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

All of these problems can be addressed with specialized physical therapy. The goal of the therapy is to improve the strength and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles so there is more sphincter control and/or less spasm in the muscles which cause pain. At CoreBalance Therapy LLC, we are trained in techniques for male pelvic floor treatment, as well as general orthopedic and neurological physical therapy.
