Pelvic Pain in Men
Studies have revealed that due to pelvic floor dysfunction, 10% of men will encounter symptoms of pelvic pain. Due to misdiagnosis, many patients are prescribed antibiotics thinking they have prostatitis. Physical therapy that is focused on strengthening pelvic floor muscles is the answer, not irrelevant antibiotics.
