Sexual Pelvic Floor Impairments We Treat with Physical Therapy
A sexual pelvic floor impairment can disrupt intimacy, comfort, and confidence for any gender. At The Pelvic Place Physical Therapy, we treat sexual pelvic floor impairment and male pelvic pain in Houston with discreet, one-on-one care — from painful sex, vaginismus, and dyspareunia to erectile, penile, and testicular pain.
Pain With Sex: A Common Sexual Pelvic Floor Impairment
In fact, research shows that at least 1 in 4 females experience some sort of pain with intercourse. Likewise, men are affected — a sexual pelvic floor impairment is a common, treatable cause of male pelvic pain in Houston and beyond.
Ask Yourself: Could This Be Pain With Sex?
First, ask yourself: does insertion hurt? Does friction hurt? What about deep thrust? Afterward, do you feel great after sex, or do you feel like you need pain medications and time alone? Does the thought of sex make you feel anxious and nervous? Can you feel sex? Finally, does it feel pleasurable, or does it feel like a task?
What Causes Pain During Intimacy?
“The more you think about sex, the more you think about sex.” After all, sex should be sacred and fun — moments experienced with whomever you choose to share yourself with. Unfortunately, things like childbirth, menopause, a past medical history of cancer, or unpleasant interactions all have the ability to negatively impact our sexual experience. In some cases, you are mentally prepared for intercourse; however, you are unable to get aroused or stay aroused. In other cases, the vaginal opening may feel like a wall that’s unwilling to budge. Fortunately, this is often a sexual pelvic floor impairment, and it responds well to therapy. So don’t force it, and stop stressing, because that further programs negative muscle memory.
