Pudendal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the pudendal nerve, which runs through the pelvic region. This condition can cause pain, discomfort, or numbness in the genitals, perineum, rectum, and surrounding areas. In this guide, we'll explore pudendal neuralgia, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Prostatitis is a common condition that involves inflammation of the prostate gland in men. It can affect men of all ages and can be acute or chronic. Prostatitis can cause a variety of symptoms, including urinary problems and pelvic pain. In this guide, we'll explore prostatitis, including its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is a common complication following prostate surgery, particularly after radical prostatectomy, which is often performed to treat prostate cancer. This condition refers to the involuntary leakage of urine that can occur after the surgical removal of the prostate gland. In this guide, we'll explore post-prostatectomy incontinence in men, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Vaginismus is a condition characterized by involuntary contraction of the vaginal muscles, making penetration during sexual intercourse painful or impossible. It is a type of sexual dysfunction that can affect women of all ages and can have both physical and psychological causes. In this guide, we'll explore vaginismus, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Dyspareunia is a condition characterized by persistent or recurrent pain during sexual intercourse. The pain can occur before, during, or after sexual activity and can affect both men and women. In this guide, we'll explore dyspareunia, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as painful bladder syndrome, is a chronic condition characterized by bladder pressure, bladder pain, and sometimes pelvic pain. The pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, and the condition is a part of a spectrum of diseases known as bladder pain syndrome (BPS). In this guide, we'll explore interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) is a condition characterized by persistent pain in the pelvic region, lasting six months or more, without a clear identifiable cause. It can affect both men and women and can have a significant impact on quality of life. In this guide, we'll explore Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome, including its potential causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition where one or more of the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum, descend from their normal position and protrude into the vaginal canal. This can occur due to weakened or damaged pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues. In this guide, we'll explore pelvic organ prolapse, including its types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) is a condition that combines the symptoms of both stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and urge urinary incontinence (UUI). This means that individuals with MUI experience involuntary leakage of urine both during physical activities that increase pressure on the bladder (such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising) and following a sudden, strong urge to urinate. In this guide, we'll explore mixed urinary incontinence, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
Urge urinary incontinence (UUI) is a condition characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage of urine. It is often associated with an overactive bladder and can significantly impact daily life and activities. In this guide, we'll explore urge urinary incontinence, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the role of physical therapy in managing this condition effectively.
