Hi everyone, I have OAB, urge incontinence, uresis, and bedwetting. After not getting answers from my urologist and various medications failing I pursued pelvic floor therapy. Im a guy, and I found out there are much fewer PFT's that treat males for pelvic floor disfucntion. I lucked out and found one in my hometown however. I just ended an 8 week program and I am surprised how well it worked, even my bed wetting improved. Sitting down was fine, until I stood up, id get massive urges that I couldnt hold, and I'd flood what ever I was wearing. After learning how to regulate my internal body pressure, my urges are way more controllable now. I used to wake up wet every morning, now Im dry most the week. My day time accidents improved so much I can get away with pull ups or much thinner diapers, even pads on some days.
We covered behavior changes, practiced the mechanics of breathing, used some estim to activate the pelvic muscles, as well as core, pelvic and back exercises.
I'll be honest, yes, I was nervous and embarressed at first but she was awesome and very understanding. Made a joke about the floor being pee proof, LOL. Most of the time we weren't even in the main therapy gym, we were in a private room.
Everyone is different, my incontinence isn't solely due to my pelvic floor so it didn't fully resolve with PFT. It did give me more confidence to keep doing what I love and that having leaks and wearing diapers is okay.
I hope this helps you reach out and talk with a PFT, I wish I hadn't waited 7 years before going.
