Don’t Ignore This Common Symptom!
Have you noticed pain during or after you ejaculate? If so, you aren’t alone–studies show that 1% – 25% of men worldwide have experienced pain around orgasm. But, if you’re like many men, you may find the subject difficult to talk about.
At Integrity Rehab, we understand. However, we also understand that painful ejaculation, while not dangerous in and of itself, indicates an underlying condition, some of which can be pretty serious.
That’s why we strive to provide a discreet atmosphere where you can freely share your symptoms and concerns—ensuring you get the relief you’re looking for.
Different Types of Ejaculation Pain
While the concept of painful ejaculation may seem straightforward, it can manifest in different ways:
- Pain can range from mild to severe
- Pain can occur shortly before ejaculation, during the orgasm itself, or immediately after
- Pain can begin in the penis, the bladder, or the scrotum
- Pain can last anywhere from a few minutes to 24 hours
- Some men notice pain during urination, especially immediately following sex
Symptoms can vary so much because ejaculation pain can have any number of causes. Our physical therapists can help you decipher your symptoms to get to the root of your pain (and get you feeling better faster). A few common causes of painful ejaculation include the following:
- Inflammation and swelling of the prostate
- Chronic pelvic pain symptom
- Issues with the nervous system (often caused by diabetes)
- Various medical issues, including STIs, UTIs, etc.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Can Help Manage Your Pain
Pelvic floor physical therapy or occupational therapy is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on improving the health of your pelvic floor–the band of muscles that supports your pelvic organs, including your bladder, bowels, and prostate. If your painful ejaculation doesn’t have a clear medical cause, your pelvic floor may be the culprit.
The Integrity Rehab therapists can help you find relief through a specialized treatment plan focused on addressing impairments in those pelvic floor muscles. This program might include the following:
- Pelvic floor exercises (such as a male version of Kegels)
- Pelvic floor manual therapy
- Pain-relieving modalities
- General information about your pelvic floor health
