Expert Assessment for Men’s Pelvic Health Symptoms
Your first appointment involves a detailed and confidential assessment designed to understand the full picture behind your symptoms.
This includes discussion around:
- your current symptoms
- medical history
- previous surgery or treatment
- bladder and bowel habits
- pain patterns
- exercise and activity levels
- lifestyle factors
A physical assessment may include evaluation of posture, movement, abdominal muscle control, breathing mechanics and pelvic floor coordination.
Where clinically appropriate, an internal rectal examination may be recommended to assess pelvic floor muscle function more directly. This is always fully explained beforehand, entirely optional, and only carried out with your informed consent.
