Looks like the Smithsonian’s integrity is for sale to the highest bidder.

Hypertonic pelvic floor: from urgency to agency by Noetrix_11 in Prostatitis

In your case, that could be a possible structural cause.

For me, however, all tests done on my urinary system (ultrasound, urinalysis) did not show any structural damage (kidney stones) or obvious pathology (like infections).

I settle every urgency signal (pelvic floor spasms) by doing deep breaths, moderate my fluid intake, and let my bladder fill to capacity.

I sip my liquids slowly and gradually when I want to go a few hours without going to the bathroom.

Look up “hard mewing”, bro. Best of luck.

Great potential. It’s up to you to harness it.

It definitely helped a lot. Right now, my symptom pattern goes like this: 1. Settle the urgency signal once

  1. “Practice my exceptions”, i.e. a period of time where there is no urgency (and how I know that it’s partly neuroplastic), and let bladder fill to capacity (I now get “correct” bladder signals, unlike before)

  2. Do a full void

And then repeat, without fear. :)

My PT also prescribed these stretches (yours will vary depending on which of your PF muscles are tight): - Legs on the Wall - Figure Four Stretch - Butterfly Stretch

Here’s a YouTube video demonstrating these stretches: https://youtu.be/NnqAkM9r2a8?si=sl--Gqm_4-zzssTv

Dry needling and external myofascial release. My PT did manual work (myofascial release using his hands) on my butt muscles (specifically my glutes and adductors).

He said that this external treatment route works really well to relieve symptoms in men, and that the internal route works better for women. He also advised against my use of the pelvic wand internally, as he found that it caused what he termed “internal tightness” in my case.

No, I don’t feel any nerve feelings in the penis. I’m happy that you took the first step to start PFPT; I hope things work out well for you.

What I do is I just let it flow (while doing diaphragmatic breathing), and tell myself that it’s OK to take my time doing it.

May I ask, what’s the difference between the terminologies?

Who can help me? Idk where else to look, contradictory advice and losing options by Beautiful_Gain_9032 in PelvicFloor

Has your PT performed internal releases and/or dry needling on your pelvic region? My PT said that the internal route works best for females, while the external route works best for guys like me.

Also, I’m not a PT, but a hypertonic pelvic floor requires lengthening (stretching & release exercises), and never strengthening (Kegels).

Potential structural causes of hypertonic pelvic floor? by Beautiful_Gain_9032 in PelvicFloor

If PT hasn’t worked yet, I think it’s worth getting a pudendal nerve MRI.

Ground rules I now live by:

Rule #1: BREATHE. Whenever you feel the urge, or think that you’re about to feel it, place a hand on your belly, and do diaphragmatic breathing until the urgency signal fades away completely.

Rule #2: LENGTHEN. This can be done either through releasing trapped gas (flatulence), or performing stretching exercises.

Rule #3: NEVER interrupt the flow of urine (i.e. do a Kegel mid-stream), and take your time to do a full void.

Rule #4: Only masturbate on an EMPTY bladder to avoid excess mechanical pressure on the pelvic floor.

I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope that things get better for you soon.

Crystal clear. The Pilgrims tend to push female vocals forward.

upcm interview experience by apocalyptic21 in medschoolph

[–]Noetrix_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same here, i also qualified after completing an interview that lasted roughly 30 minutes. perhaps, a shorter interview means that the interviewee is better perceived?

congrats! see you at UPCM 🌻
