Pelvic Floor Health for Men: What Every Man Should Know

Yes, men have a pelvic floor too. It's a group of muscles at the base of the pelvis that helps control your bladder and bowel, supports your core, and plays a big part in erections and sexual function. When those muscles weaken, men can notice leaking, dribbling, urgency, or changes in the bedroom. The Pelvic Floor Frequency Chair at my center in The Woodlands is a fully clothed way to strengthen them.

November is Movember, the month when men grow mustaches to raise awareness of men's health, including prostate cancer and mental health. It's a good time to talk about a part of men's health that rarely gets mentioned.

What does the pelvic floor do in men?

Your pelvic floor sits like a sling between your tailbone and pubic bone. In men, it:

• Helps you hold urine and stool until you're ready to go

• Supports the bladder and bowel

• Works with your deep core muscles to stabilize your spine and hips

• Helps maintain firmness during an erection and plays a role in ejaculation

  
  

Most men have never been told this part of their body exists, let alone that it can be trained.

What weakens a man's pelvic floor?

Several things can take a toll over time:

• Prostate surgery: removing or treating the prostate can affect the muscles and nerves that control urine flow

• An enlarged prostate: this is common as men age and can change how the bladder and pelvic floor work together

• Aging: we all lose muscle as we get older, and the pelvic floor is no exception

• Everyday strain: heavy lifting, chronic coughing, constipation, and long hours of sitting all put pressure on these muscles

  
  

What are the signs of a weak pelvic floor in men?

• Dribbling a few drops after you finish urinating

• Leaking when you cough, sneeze, lift, or stand up

• A sudden, strong urge to go, or not quite making it in time

• Changes in erections or sexual sensation

• A feeling of weakness or heaviness in the pelvic area

  
  

As a nurse, I always want men to see their doctor first about any of these. Blood in the urine, pain, trouble starting or emptying your bladder, or getting up many times a night to urinate all need a medical evaluation. The chair works alongside that care.

Why is Movember a good time to think about this?

About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Many men who have prostate surgery deal with leaking afterward, and pelvic floor strength is a big part of regaining control.

Movember is a reminder to schedule your checkups and to stop ignoring the things that are quietly changing how you live.

How does the Pelvic Floor Frequency Chair work for men?

The chair uses InnerPulse high-frequency electromagnetic technology. You sit fully clothed while electromagnetic pulses stimulate the nerves that control your pelvic floor. That creates deep contractions in muscles that are hard to find and train on your own.

One session equals about 11,000 Kegel contractions. The chair is designed to support:

• Better urinary control, with less leaking and dribbling

• Strengthening and repair of the pelvic floor muscles

• Prostate wellness

• Sexual sensation and function

• Core stability

  
  

What does the research say about men?

The chair uses a type of technology often called high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) stimulation. A 2025 study in Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management followed 27 men who were still leaking after prostate surgery. After a course of HIFEM sessions, their incontinence scores improved by about 53%, and by about 61% at a one-month follow-up. Daily pad use also dropped, and no side effects were reported. The researchers called it a safe, noninvasive option that deserves larger studies (Tosun et al., 2025).

That's a small study, so I share it honestly as early but encouraging research.

What does a session feel like?

You sit down in your regular clothes. You'll feel your pelvic floor muscles tighten and release. It isn't painful, though it takes a moment to get used to, and I can adjust the intensity for you. There's no undressing and no downtime, so you can go right back to work or the rest of your day.

How many sessions will I need?

Think of it like strength training. Your pelvic floor gets stronger with consistency, so it works best as a series: 2 to 3 sessions a week until you reach optimal performance, then maintenance sessions from there. Most people start with the 6-session package, and single sessions are available too.

How much does the Pelvic Floor Frequency Chair cost?

As of November 2026:

• Single session: $125

• 6-session package: $625

Cash payments get 5% off.
