Pelvic/Sexual Pain

Addressing Chronic Pelvic and Sexual Pain

Treatment for Sexual Pain

SCROTAL OR TESTICULAR PAIN. Pain in the scrotum and/or testicles is a common complaint among men of all ages. Often when no obvious source of pain can be identified, men are left with few options to address their discomfort. A common cause of testicular and scrotal pain is underlying pelvic muscle dysfunction, which can interfere with normal everyday physical and sexual activity. Dysfunction of the pelvic floor is not something that is readily uncovered with traditional diagnostic testing but can be properly diagnosed in the hands of a sexual health specialist like Dr. Joshua Gonzalez. 

PAINFUL INTERCOURSE. For some, intercourse can be a painful experience. This pain can result from pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prior trauma or injury to the genitals, Peyronie’s disease, and/or prostatic inflammation or infection. Properly diagnosing the source of the pain is key to treating the issue. Often a variety of treatment options must be employed to help address sexual pain so seeking out a sexual health specialist to help navigate these options is crucial.
