Genitourinary Prolapse :: Electronic Pelvic Floor Exercisers?
Has anyone had any experience with those electronic pelvic floor exercisers? Even though I saw a physio pre op and she showed me how to do them, I've youtubed it, read about it.... I'm still not convinced I'm doing them right!
I saw on Amazon there's an electric one which has got amazing reviews.
Have any of you tried one post surgery? If so, what's your opinion?
Frequent Urination - Irritated Bladder, Pelvic Floor Muscles, Or Anxiety?
I am a 22 year old female
I am writing today in hopes to find an answer to a recent aggravating ongoing problem that is taking a toll on my everyday life.
From what i remember starting around November 2014 a symptom of frequent urination suddenly appeared and i started going to the bathroom 10-15 times a day. The around Thanksgiving time I had a burning, foul odor when using the restroom along with the need to constantly urinate.
I had a few UTIs before, trichomoniasis and chlamydia at an earlier age but were all treated effectively. I went to the doctor about two weeks later because i was busy in school with finals and figured it would be okay until i was able to visit the doctor. I was given rounds of antibiotics, everything from cipro, bactrim, amoxicillin, etc and that took away the burning sensation but never the constant need to urinate.
I have seen a urologist and after doing ultrasounds and various exams he prescribed me of what i believe was detrol for overactive bladder but it gave me dry mouth and did nothing to assist this frequency of urination.
He figured it was tight pelvic floor muscles and recommended me to a PT that specializes in this. Over the months the constant urge got better on its on before seeing the physical therapists because before it was so bad i couldn't stay in the school library without being embarrassed of keep getting up to use the bathroom. I sustained from sex during this time and recently had sex a week ago and this definitely reignited by symptoms.
I have visited the PT about five days ago for the first time and the exercises seem to be not working.
I am so frustrated and confused as to whether this symptom is a cause of an irritated bladder, pelvic floor muscles, or anxiety.
Urinary Stress Incontinence - Personal Trainer And No Pelvic Floor Exercise
I suffer from stress incontinence. I haven't been doing my pelvic floor exercises as much as I should but it's getting a real problem now. I love exercise, I teach classes and also am training to become a Personal Trainer so really need to get this problem sorted. I went out for a run yesterday and couldn't stop weeing. It's getting really embarrassing. I also have to hold myself before I go to the toilet to avoid wetting myself. Has anyone else been this bad and have you thought of the surgery? And if so, was it successful? I'm awaiting a private appointment but it's not until end of April. Please help!! Any advice would be great. I'm a woman in her early 40's and had two vaginal deliveries 10 and 8 years ago....

I have suffered from IBS since I was 20, I am now 64. When I get an attack it can last for weeks then disappears for a few weeks or months. I am having a dull ache in my rectum mostly when I am sitting, no pain or discomfort when having a bowel movement, I have experienced this in the past and it eventually disappears after a few weeks. I suffer from anxiety which causes flare ups, this one seems to be going on for ever. Does anyone else experience this discomfort?
View 13 RepliesChills, Nausea, Constant Pelvic Pain - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?
A little background information about myself: 23 y/o female, diagnosed with PCOS at 19, suffer from multiple UTIs and kidney infections each year.
Starting in about September, intercourse would be incredibly uncomfortable and painful, causing me to cramp severely after and bleed. These symptoms became worse and worse, and I began spotting between my periods. So, after meeting with my GYN in October and her suspecting cervicitis (inflamed cervix), I had an appointment beginning of December for a colposcopy and cervical biopsy. Upon touching my cervix with a q-tip it bled out and was EXTREMELY sore to touch. Waiting on further consultation from the results, but according to my GP: pre cervical cancer cells, uterine lining infection and cervical infection.
I have now been on 2 rounds of different antibiotics with no improvement, I believe I am getting worse. Ever since the biopsy, I have bled EVERY DAY FOR SEVEN WEEKS! I have a fever that comes and goes, chills, nausea, constant pelvic pain and am extremely tired all the time.
I have been researching (bad idea I know) what could be causing all these symptoms and am thinking PID or uterine fibroids? Any advice out there?!
Abdominal Pain :: Pelvic Pain, Frequent Urination, Stomach Pain And Back Pain
I have had issues with a frequent urination and a constant pressure on my bladder for over a year now. But since January of this year I have been experiencing extreme pain in my low low abdomen (like groin/cervix area). The pain also resides in my stomach and back. My ribs are sore to touch and I am constantly achy. I have been to the doctors who have done internal exams and say that everything LOOKS ok. I am 20 years old and my periods are regular. The pain is becoming a real problem and I'm becoming increasingly concerned. I have had ultrasounds on my pelvis and kidneys and they were fine. I've been put on meds to stabilise my bladder, but the gynaecologist won't see me for another 4 months. I know there is something further wrong with me - I can't understand why the pain keeps occurring. I don't enjoy having sex due to pain and a constant discomfort and pressure-like feeling. I'm starting to get very depressed as there is no diagnosis being made and all the tablets I am given do nothing.

View 1 RepliesSharp Pain In Stomach And Rectum/anus
This morning I woke up around 4 am, with very sharp pains in my stomach and rectum/anus. I was laying in bed but as it was too uncomfortable, I had to get up and sit on a chair. After about 30 minutes, the pains started to subside a bit but they were still there. I took some Zantac and some Mylanta and the pains slowly went away. During the day, the pains came back but not as bad as the morning. I could feel the pains in my lower abdomen and in my back this time. As the day went on, the pains almost went away and now, they have gone completely. The pain I had early this morning was like nothing I've ever had before!!
Does anyone know what caused this pain?? I'm definitely not pregnant.
Back Pain :: Sciatic Pain Has Gotten Severe, Sharp Pain In My Pelvic
I have had lower back pain for years. It always gets worse when lying down for long periods or bending over for long periods. I've also had sciatic pain in my left leg for years. It comes and goes. Recently I have started to get the same pain in my right leg. The sciatic pain as gotten severe. I also have some other new symptoms. One new symptom is searing pain in my knee sometimes when I'm standing or when I bend my leg all the way in. The other is sharp pain in my pelvic area. Are these connected? Can you please possibly tell me what is going on? The only notable health history I have is ovarian cysts.

Fissure In Ano :: Years Of Dull Pain To Excruciating Pain?
I just want to know your experiences with the time it took from you felt a "dull" pain till it becomes large and really painful?
I have had a small tender firm swelling on the side of anus now for 4-5 days - which my physician says is "probably just a hemorrhoid". There is no change in colour and it's more a firm area than a nodule it seems.
The pain isn't unbearable - painkillers do their job well so far.
I was thinking perhaps anal abscesses develop over 1-2 days rather than 4-5 days from onset of dull pain to excruciating pain?
Also, sorry for hijacking the fistula forum - there is none of anal abscess and most of you guys must have had it at some point.
Pain Behind My Pelvic Area After Ejaculation
I've been having this pain in my lower belly after I ejaculate for quite some time now. It's never during sex or masturbation but ONLY after. It may take 2 minutes before I feel it or 20, but sooner or later it comes. It's sharp but resonating at the same time. If I were to put it on a scale of 1-10 of how painful it is it would be a 2 but annoying none the less. Its been something I've dealt with for awhile and i always thought it would go away but it hasn't. Its almost like its behind my pelvic bone and last from 30 seconds to a minute or two.
View 1 RepliesWomen Pelvic Pain :: Chronic Prostatitis
I have had CP for almost 3 years. I can't remember life without it or being able to sit down in real comfort. I have had all the hospital tests and regularly have a well-man check every autumn. I still try to keep fit and go walking and having recently retired so I am determined not to let it spoil my life. You always continue to worry that it will not turn into something else. I probably don't take as many pain-killers anti anti-inflammatory drugs as I should because you feel that can't be good for you as well. I dream of the day it will go but I fear it will be around for a long time yet, if not for ever.
View 4 RepliesMen - Undiagnosed Pelvic, Testicular And Urinating Pain
My problems began nearly 9 yrs ago. I had lower abdominal pain, pain on ejaculation, testicular pain, pain and burning when urinating and pain in the tip of my penis. The symptoms worsened over time. There is no respite and even certain types of underwear are difficult to wear causing aggravation. I have had varying opinions from Doctors and Consultants causing me more frustration. Suggested treatments have included drug prescriptions and even anti-depressants (which I have avoided). I have been treated at a local Pain Management Unit and undergone various tests, including injections and a scan. I was recently informed that although procedures had been exhausted, nothing more could be done. I was advised to make my own enquiries and this led me to this website. I am anxious to discuss with others who have experienced a similar plight in order to find anything which could ease the pains.

Men's Health :: Dull Pain In Left Testicle
Yesterday, I noticed that my left testicle felt sore or had a dull ache. Kinda the feeling after getting hit in the balls. I am 19 years old and not sexually active. It does not hurt to ejaculate or urinate. The pain feels like its in the epididymis on the left side and only there. There is a less intense, sharp pain when I touch and move that area. I just started icing it for a minute or two every so often but it feels like it got more sensitive.

I am 20 year old male. Not sexually active. OK for 4 hours now I have been experiencing a weird dull ache/pain/discomfort on the left side of my left testicle, and also slight discomfort in lower abdomen. The discomfort on the testicles is ONLY on the left side of my left testicle.
For the past hour I have been going crazy looking over all the possible problems that might be. However all these problems seem to have some kind of physical symptom. I checked my balls and I couldn't find anything wrong on the outside.
