You may associate pelvic floor exercises with women, particularly women who have given birth. But did you realise that men also need a strong pelvic floor?
It’s especially important if you have had, or are anticipating surgery on your prostate. Pelvic floor exercises really help – but very few men manage to do these, so here at our Cambridgeshire clinic we have a solution! PelviPower technology is a safe and effective way to manage symptoms after prostate surgery. It’s also a proven method to help with erectile dysfunction and other male problems, including incontinence and back pain.
What is the pelvic floor?
The floor of the pelvis consists of layers of muscle and other connective tissue. These stretch from one side to another like a hammock and are attached at the back to your tailbone (coccyx) at the back and at the front, to the pubic bone. The urethra and the rectum both pass through the pelvic floor muscles.
This hammock of muscle supports the bladder and the bowel and plays an important role in bladder and bowel control.
Pelvic floor exercises after prostate surgery
Pelvic floor exercises have been shown to be effective following surgery on the prostate and when men experience a dribble after passing water. Whether you’ve had surgery to remove the prostate after surgery, or surgery for an enlarged prostate (transurethral resection of the prostate or TURP), urinary problems are common.
Some also have difficulty controlling wind or leakage from the bowels. Often this is due to a weakness of the muscles of the pelvic floor, which have an important function in preventing
PelviPower for prostate problems
PelviPower is simple and effective healing technology. It works by stimulating blood flow to the genitals and helping to normalise muscle tone in the pelvic floor. It works by using magnetic field therapy with biofeedback. Up to 25,000 contractions deliver a noticeable effect on symptoms such as erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence after prostate surgery. It can be used as part of a rehab programme, or to prepare for surgery.
Its state-of-the-art technology is enhanced by targeted support for individual training.
