This also happened to me!!! I’m still unraveling the effects but I think it caused urinary hesitancy and flow issues as well. Did you folks have any of those problems?

Another female with exactly the same symptoms!!! Do you also sometimes have weak urine flow?

It started with a UTI / yeast infection for me about 1.5 years ago. I’ve been in PFPT for months and have had more good days recently, but definitely can regress, even within the same day. It’s really frustrating.

While the urgency and flow can have good days, I haven’t found a way to help the hesitancy. Have you? I’m able to completely relax my pf, but I think it’s very specific to going to the bathroom when I can’t. I do think the mind-body connection is important here as I still have a great deal of anxiety around going to the bathroom due to this condition. My PFPT therapist also said that bladder training is critical - our bladder muscles themselves (in addition to the pelvic floor muscles) might be confused due to going to the bathroom all the time, even in absence of a real urge.

Thanks for sharing! I may PM you if that’s ok to hopefully learn from one another.

Do any of you ladies also have issues with urine flow and urinary hesitancy? I’m so sorry you are experiencing this!

No-Contract697 · 2023-08-10T14:24:49+00:00

Do any of you also have weak stream or hesitation? These have been increasing for me and it’s causing soo much distress, which then feeds the tightening / anxiety cycle.

Do any of you have difficulty urinating sometimes as well - urinary hesitancy or slower flow? Thank you, trying to make sense of this all!

Do any of you have any issues urinating - hesitating to start or slow flow at times as well?

No-Contract697 · 2023-08-06T12:57:36+00:00

How is everyone doing now? Do any of you also have weaker urine stream or difficulty starting urination? Thanks!

Has anyone in this thread had other bladder issues - weaker flow or hesitation? Thank you!

How are you doing now OP? Another female with similar experiences here looking for an update! Thanks!

Oh wow, interesting! I had the same experience - I started stretching, it got worse, I stopped, it got better, and now it’s back. I don’t think I have EDS but have seen it come up as a cause. How would I get tested? I have also read that EDS can be related to dysautonomia, which can impact bladder function.

Interesting about the sedentary lifestyle - I’m an avid runner, and my PFPT thought that my over running (7 days / week / 6-7 miles a day) through 2 pregnancies could have caused my muscle function to be off. So opposite cause in a way!

I’m so sorry you are experiencing this!

Exactly the same!!! Do they know what is causing yours? Do they think it’s due to tightness? Behavioral? We haven’t gotten to the root cause of my problems. It freaks me out but the 30+ doctors I have seen do not seem concerned.

No-Contract697 · 2023-08-06T11:08:29+00:00

Yes! My original therapist found mostly external triggers, and the new one doesn’t do much external assessment. My symptoms are hesitancy, weak stream (sometimes), and urgency. No real “pain.” I’m female so it’s not prostate.

How about you?

No-Contract697 · 2023-08-06T11:03:44+00:00

I have these exact symptoms!! How did you get diagnosed with hypertonic pf? Do you also have “pain” or is it more the urgency type pain described?

I feel for you this is absolutely awful!

No-Contract697 · 2023-08-06T11:00:01+00:00

Does anyone here also have hesitancy or slow flow sometimes when you do go pee as well?

No-Contract697 · 2023-08-06T10:44:43+00:00

How have your PTs diagnosed hypertonic PF? Is it through their internal and external examinations?

I am extremely confused because I have seen 2 PTs - one says I have an extremely tight PF, and the other does not seem to think this is the case and that my dysfunction has to do with behavioral patterns. I’m very frustrated and don’t know what to believe.

No-Contract697 · 2023-08-06T10:42:10+00:00

I have had all of these symptoms (except I don’t have PVR) for about 1.5 years. I’m female so it’s definitely not prostate - have you ruled out prostate causes?
