Pelvic pain is much more common than many people realize. Chronic pelvic pain affects around 15% of men.
Symptoms of chronic pelvic pain vary greatly between individuals and can be experienced deep in the pelvis, genitals, buttock, low back, or abdomen. Individuals may experience pain or discomfort with sexual activity, sitting, or daily activities.
Despite the large number of people affected by pelvic floor dysfunction, many find it difficult to talk to their healthcare provider about these problems. It's always important to communicate all symptoms to your doctor as most of these problems can be treated conservatively by a physical therapist.
