Bladder and Bowel problems

The pelvic floor muscles are at the base of the pelvis. These muscles support and control the bladder and bowel and play a part in normal sexual function.

Weakness of the pelvic floor muscles can result in the following symptoms:

Leaking on coughing, lifting, getting up from a chair or other types of exertion
Increased frequency and urgency to empty the bladder
Poor control of wind
Difficulty controlling your bowels
Erectile problems

"One in ten men will suffer from pelvic floor weakness or incontinence in their life time."

"Almost 70% of men will suffer from urinary incontinence following prostate surgery."

"Over 50% of men over 40 will encounter problems with erectile dysfunction."

"Chronic pelvic pain (Non-bacterial prostatitis, CPPS) affects around 11% of men between 20-50 years and 9% of men over 50."
