<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhy is a stable pelvic floor important for men and women?<\/h3>\n
Anatomically, walking upright is a problem. <\/strong>Whereas the abdominal cavity of our four-legged ancestors hung resiliently on the horizontally running spinal column, our fat reserves and unborn offspring strain the pelvic floor. The lumbar vertebrae are also exposed to particular stresses due to the upright position: widespread back pain.<\/p>\nThe abdominal cavity is bounded on all sides:<\/strong> Above by the diaphragm, in front by the abdominal muscles, behind the spine and below the pelvis provides bony support. In the back, the back muscles are critical; in the pelvis, the pelvic floor muscles<\/strong> are critical: both must absorb the load that was previously held by the abdominal muscles. Just like the back muscles, the muscles in the pelvic floor are important for the stability of the trunk<\/strong> and thus for posture<\/strong>, physical performance<\/strong>, breathing<\/strong>, digestion<\/strong>, continence<\/strong> and, last but not least, sexuality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nPositive effects: What are the benefits of pelvic floor training for men?<\/h3>\n
Pelvic floor training is the order of the day for men who have problems with their continence and\/or potency.<\/strong> Men suffer from urinary<\/strong> and faecal<\/strong> incontinence much less often in their younger years than women with their pregnancies, but they catch up strongly in old age. Then erectile dysfunction<\/strong> also becomes more frequent. Causes of such complaints are<\/p>\n\n- neurological diseases<\/strong> such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis (MS), which disrupt the retention of stool and urine;<\/li>\n
- benign enlargement of the prostate<\/strong>, which mainly affects urinary continence and potency. Operations on the prostate, especially in the case of prostate cancer, further impair the functional capacity of the pelvic floor muscles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The cross of men with the prostate<\/h3>\n
Male disease ben <\/strong>ignprostatic <\/strong>hyperplasia: <\/strong>Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects urinary incontinence and sex life and, to make matters worse, can develop into prostate cancer. The numbers are staggering:<\/p>\n\n- Prostate hyperplasia<\/strong> occurs in men over 60 with an incidence of 50-60 percent, beyond 70 with 80-90 percent.<\/li>\n
- Erectile dysfunction<\/strong> occurs in 52 percent of all men between the ages of 40 and 70, according to the U.S. Massachusetts<\/em> Male Ageing Study<\/em> (MMAS).<\/li>\n
- Potency problems in old age<\/strong> are confirmed by the European Male Ageing Study<\/em> (EMAS), which found that 6-64 percent of men aged 40-79 struggle with it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/p>\n
Why are prostate and pelvic floor muscles important for urinary control and potency?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nHealthy pelvic floor muscles are essential for<\/strong> blood flow to the penis<\/strong>, which is the only way to build and maintain an erection. In addition, all the nerves to control erection and ejaculation<\/strong> run here. A trained pelvic floor therefore also means improved sensitivity, better control over the ejaculatory reflex and therefore more intensive, better and longer sex<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAgain, the prostate is the weak point: <\/strong>the gland that produces the bulk of the sperm and brings the sperm to life surrounds the urethra. Prostate enlargement and prostate surgery ultimately lead to urinary incontinence<\/strong>. Surgery often exacerbates potency problems<\/strong> as well: The nerves supplying the penis run through the capsule of the prostate and are affected by the surgery.<\/p>\nHow can the PelvicTool help men with incontinence and impotence?<\/h3>\n
The PelvicTool is also suitable for prevention and prophylaxis<\/strong>.
\n Pelvic floor training <\/a>
\n<\/u>provides improved blood circulation and control of the nerves running in the pelvic floor muscles – important for urine control and potency.<\/p>\nA practical side effect is that it also optimises posture<\/strong>. If the corresponding nerves remain intact after prostate surgery, in many cases their functionality can be at least partially restored with pelvic floor training. Improvement of erectile dysfunction<\/strong> and control over ejaculation<\/strong> improve sexual life, not least through increased self-confidence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alonea.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Beckenbodentraining-Mann-PelvicTool_6069_800x800-e1644325310274.jpg\")
