This page aims to provide an introductory discussion of men's health physiotherapy with regards to male sexual dysfunction. Please note that further training is required through a reputable pelvic health education company before attempting the techniques discussed in this page. See the Resources section at the bottom of this page for links to pelvic and men's health special interest groups.
Introduction[edit | edit source]
Normal urinary continence is maintained when the closure pressure of the urethra is greater than the pressure from the bladder above it. This requires a complex interaction between the autonomic nervous system that controls the more proximal smooth muscles of the internal urethral sphincter and the somatic nervous system that controls the striated muscles of the external urethral sphincter.[1]
| Innervation | Type of Muscle | Function and Features | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Internal Urethral
Sphincter |
Autonomic control | Smooth muscle |
|
| External Urethral
Sphincter |
Somatic voluntary control | Striated skeletal muscle |

Problems can occur for a variety of reasons. There can be problems with the closure mechanism of the urethra which would result in stress incontinence or problems with the bladder itself which could result in frequency, urgency and urge incontinence.
