As the title says I feel like after my implant surgery - which I’ll need another one now that this one has broken- I have a weak pelvic floor now- things I’ve noticed are the following:
1. Hard to shit- no it’s not fiber it’s like I’m trying to push with nothing coming out
2. Peeing- I pee but it comes out in increments and it’s not a straight flow anymore
3. Core growth- I can’t seem to get a good contraction on my lower abdomen or build lower abs anymore
4. Core pain- when I’m doing compound work outs and I try to flex my core I feel like ima shit myself, it’s annoying because I can feel the reservoir too.
With all this being said anyone else feel the same? I’m relatively athletic and eat healthy and NEVER had these problems before

dude I kinda feel the same pelvic floor symptoms, but only difference is I don't have an implant (YET). but what you described is basically pelvic floor dysfunction, whatever the fuck that's actually supposed to mean
24 y/o suffering from sudden onset of severe ED (from previously having no ED at all). perfectly normal penile doppler and blood/hormone/urine test results. UPDATE: diagnosed with tight pelvic floor dysfunction

Re: Pelvic floor damage after implant
So anyone have any suggestions ?
Should I just flex the shit out of my core and shit myself until I build the muscles again?

Re: Pelvic floor damage after implant
Pamen116. I can sympathize with your situation. But the reality is that you & a few other members have symptoms & conditions that are just outside of the knowledge base that the vast majority of members here on FT can comment on. Its not that they are uncaring, they just don't have any tribal knowledge to share with you.
I have no choice but to repeat stmfttr's advice. Having said that, as I recall you're in a bind for insurance coverage to seek specialized medical care. My best advice is to formulate a path to get insurance coverage. Even if you aren't very fond of the job, you really need it in order to have any decent chance of even getting a diagnosis yet alone any treatment.
Best of luck to you.

Re: Pelvic floor damage after implant
Gt your the uncle that I always needed. No, I know. Luckily I just snagged a job offer with some benefits recently. As soon as I can get an appointment under health care I’ll go. I was just curious if some folks here did have a solution seeing that it’s an open forum. I know it’s pelvic floor damage I just was wondering if anyone had any advice or exercises (different than kegels) or even kegels lol.
I know the crowd is open here and was hoping for the needle and the hay sack response/ the “yeah bro just go and shit yourself for a couple weeks and you’ll be back to normal” guy may pop up.
Thank you though for the responses everyone

Re: Pelvic floor damage after implant
It cuold be the resorvoir pressing on your lower abs muscle, these a super important for shitting too and the piramidalis muscle is very involved in bladder issues.
Edit: also know that the are good chances that doctors will tell you this surely as nothing to do with the implant and bla bla especially the surgeon which implanted you (and maybe they cuold be right) anyway... if you suspect pelvic floor or any muscular disorder get evaluated by a pelvic floor Physiotherapist (be sure that he is a pelvic floor specialist because normal PT can't do much) or an osteopath , they deal with this problems everyday and they will be able to tell you what is going on

Hard flaccid syndrome since 2019. Trying to get better with conservative treatments but an implant is on my radar
