Men have pelvic floor muscles that play an important role in bladder control and sexual function. These muscles can weaken or change with aging, certain health conditions, or prostate procedures.
Could Your Pelvic Floor Be Affecting You?
Pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction may contribute to:
- Urinary leakage or decreased bladder control
- Leakage following prostate procedures
- Changes in erectile function
- Premature ejaculation or difficulty controlling ejaculation
- Decreased confidence with intimacy
Pelvic Floor Strength & Sexual Function
Your pelvic floor muscles do more than help control your bladder, they also play an important role in sexual function.
Research suggests that strengthening the pelvic floor may improve ejaculatory control in some men with premature ejaculation, helping them delay ejaculation and improve control.
Strong pelvic floor muscles also help support erections. When these muscles contract, they help keep blood within the penis, which contributes to maintaining firmness during an erection. Research has shown that pelvic floor muscle training may improve erectile function in some men.
Sexual concerns can have many causes, so persistent symptoms should be properly evaluated.
