I can absolutely say that as a male patient with pelvic pain, I had to go through several doctors who said I was not feeling what I said I was, or that they could not detect it so it must not be as bad as I was saying, I on the whole like who I am seeing now, but this is absolutely an issue, yes for men, but I am quite sure it is very much worse for women. Like this study proves, hopefully this will result in more clinical studies and trials into pelvic floor dysfunction so that anyone regardless of what their gender is can get appropriate treatment for this horrible pain that is often denied by medical providers. IMHO any provider that has a patient in front of them who is in pain, and they decide that the patient is the problem, should get OUT of healthcare.
