Guys, Let's Talk About Your Pelvic Floor

If you’re in a certain age range, your feeds or timelines might include ads about pelvic floor dysfunction. Some people might think it's a problem just for women, but our guests for this episode did a wonderful job of educating us about how pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) affects men. A previous guest who spoke to us about testosterone treatments, Melissa Bowyer is a family nurse practitioner at the Texas Tech Physicians Multispecialty Clinic. Melissa brought Robert Roten, a local physical therapist and TTUHSC alumnus to explain how physical therapy helps treat PFD. They answer questions about pelvic floor dysfunction – what are the causes, how common is it, what are the symptoms, how is it treated and how can we encourage more people to talk about this more?
