Hello not sure if you still will answer it's been so long. But I'm doing much better I have been using Insight I started off doing yoga the I can't remember the home name of it but you lie in bed doing it. Then I started doing the hypnotic thing where it tells you to breathe in breathe out breathe in breathe out and then to focus on like one body part at a time and tell yourself to relax relax and oh my God it felt like I was floating at times and I could actually feel like my face relax in my arms and my shoulders and my pelvic and everything it's crazy I'm doing so much better .

Learning to help my wife.

@DrMelissaOleson Dr. Oleson... you fixed me! I was having what I can only describe as "phantom pee" near the end of my penis. It felt as if pee was still left after urination and that it was going to drip into my pants all day long. Highly uncomfortable! Online I read where some men had similar issues and were being mis-diagnosed with prostatitis, which I had also been diagnosed with. What I read was that it was actually due to pelvic floor muscles and nerves. So, I found your video, humbled myself to give myself a massage in the perineal area and followed your steps. While massaging I actually found a point that sent a sensation to the exact spot in my penis that was being affected! I felt immediate relief, and after 3 days of following your advice, the sensation of "phantom pee" was completely gone! I assume I had a compressed or pinched nerve. I have not had that sensation for over a week now and seem to be back to normal....Thank you Thank you Thank you!

@@DrMelissaOleson hello again. I seem to have triggered the same area in my pelvic floor again, twice since we spoke last. Both times it has been by either doing curls with weights, or by picking up a heavy box. Thankfully the massage method releases the tension before I had any adverse effects. Would I be wrong in thinking my pelvic floor is weakend on that side? I have tried keegals before and that actually kinda hurt the area and may have been the reason I had the first instance of trouble.. I see you have pelvic floor exercises I may try unless you have another suggestion. Thanks for your time.

I got to go to a pelvic floor pt for a couple sessions before I lost my insurance and we basically came to the conclusion I had too tense of a pelvic floor (I was not having trouble keeping myself from peeing, more felt like I had to when I didn’t need to like a uti and painful sex) and that I basically cannot get it to relax. I find a lot of videos on strengthening those muscles but not really on relaxing them or the hips and I really appreciated this one

I hope you checked insight timer out I had the same thing honey it was in my hips and my lower belly that's how bad I had it. I was in so much pain. It's been a couple of months I have been free of pain. It's actually your brain that isn't helping you also it thinks it's helping you by keeping your muscles tight. You have to keep telling yourself that you're not in pain so it will stop tightening the muscles. I know it doesn't sound right but it's true. It's your subconscious telling it that you need help in your pelvic area. It's really messed up. But true. I feel for you. I wish you all the best .

@paulacarter8091 I tried everything, PT, botox, nerve blocksI even had a few surgeries. I finally realized that I am clenching...everywhere in my body. It's kind of like the same idea as jaw clenching except it's global for me. I've been slowly getting better over time since I realized this, but it's a hard thing to stop because it's my bodies natural reaction to stress. Myofascial release work on my entire body has helped. There are so many different things that can cause tension in the pelvis and pelvic pain, you have to find what the root cause is which is hard. Being in the medical field I searched for an anatomical cause for years, but there just wasn't one. I literally needed to learn how to calm my nervous system down. If you think this might pertain to you also look up MSK Neurology muscle clenching he explains it really well.

Working on your core & pelvic floor system can be helpful with this. Learning how to breathe for your pelvic floor & core is key. When we have too much intra-abdominal pressure that can lead to leaks, pains, pressure, prolapse, digestive health, and more. Breathing is a great first step in learning to manage the pressure.

Creating more flexibility and mobility in your hips & pelvis can be very helpful in optimizing blood flow.

The perineum is just one area.

There’s a lot of strange vascular, soft tissue, and “floaty” random anatomy down there. How can you tell what’s okay to massage and not? Sometimes I think maybe I’m hitting a vein and rubbing on it? Or maybe it’s a tendon. I might be thinking too much. Thanks for any insight. Also, I’ve been to PT for pelvic floor issues and more men need to go. It changed my life and got me off prostate medication.

So amazing you were able to go to pelvic floor PT and found it helpful. Thanks for sharing more need to go! To answer your question, if you are in that space between anus and testicles you are looking for a spot that feels tight. The towel roll exercise in a chair is a great starting place to see if there are any tight spots or feels different side to side. And as always listening to our bodies is key.
