Sexual Dysfunction
Symptoms include:
- Difficultly achieving orgasm (Aorgasmia)
- Pain during or after orgasm/ejaculation (Dysorgasmia)
- Difficulty maintaining or achieving an erection
- Genital Hyperarousal Disorder
- Pain or discomfort associated with feelings of arousal in absence of stimulation or context
The bulbospongiosis and ischiocavernoisis are the primary muscles involved in orgasm. These muscles involuntarily contract and relax during an orgasm. When these muscles are tight, or have myofascial trigger points they can prevent orgasm and/or cause pain.
Your physical therapist will normalize the tight muscles and tissue with manual therapy techniques. A home exercise program will be prescribed to you to facilitate recovery and maintain the gains made. Resolution of the musculoskeletal dysfunction will result in the elimination of your symptoms.
