Nobody who hasn't been thru this understands how painful this condition is , and very very discouraging it is to have doctors tell you the pain is in your head. I'm at the lowest point of my life right now and I'm going thru exactly what he went thru so accurate thank you for this video I am swing every doctor possible at the Cleveland clinic and I will use this information to help guide them to helping me ty!
You're welcome, Tino. I'm so sorry to hear that you've had such a hard time thus far. I'm sending healing wishes your way!
@Jordan Brutananadilewski how are you now
@@programmer649 I'm just dealing with mine, these are my symptoms:
- pain in my perineum, penile base, around my anal sphincter.
- a feeling like there's a golf ball above my perineum whenever I sit down, couldn't sit down for more than 2 minutes.
- sometimes it was hard to start urinating.
- pain below my belly button.
I was recommended reverse kegels and man, it did it for me.
@tino velez how are you now?
How are you doing now @Tino Velez?
This is uncomfortable to say, but I've contemplated suicide for a while now. I've lost everything, I don't even feel human anymore. 5 years in fighting and trying to understand what's happening, doctor after doctor. I'm in tears hearing someone describe everything I've been going through and then say they got better. Even if it's a little, a little is a lot when you can't even stand to wake up anymore. This gives me hope. I've started all of the stretch routines from both of you and I feel it, I understand it now. Thank you so much! I will continue stretching, diet, everything. Writing this was to thank you but I can't even put it into words. Relief, and relaxed for a change. Thank you!
Hi Msquared. Thank you for reaching out. We know how hard this can be, I am so sorry that you've had to go through this. You can do this. You will get better. The stretching, diet, and mind-body practices will help you on your healing journey. Please don't hesitate in asking for guidance, we are here to help. Take care. Shannon, Team Transform.
I am so glad you found this video and are already seeing improvement. We can't wait to hear more about your successful healing journey. We are here if you have questions!
Only day 4 of stretching 2 to 3 times a day and I'm already feeling muscles relax, I'm stretching further, pain is reduced, there is a lot I'm noticing! The biggest thing I notice is how much better my mind is feeling after. Sometimes it's hard to get myself to stretch in the morning but I put on one of your RUclips videos and I'm instantly motivated ! The way you have explained everything really helped me understand and I'm able to picture what is happening.
I don't want to over sell it, I have a long way to go, but I'm better than I was 6 days ago. The constipation is also getting better and I can tell it's all related. It's nice to focus on my body instead of just fighting it like I was before.
Thanks
I've been through it. I had testicular pain for about a decade. All urologist said I was fine. One urologist told me I just had to live with pain. I accepted the pain and lived with it for years. One day after ejaculating the constant need to pee was so bad it had me in tears, I became suicidal. I envisioned taking my own life, I saw no way out. Once again I went to a Urologist, a different one this time. I reached rock bottom. I told him that I lost interest in life. "I'm going to send you to physical therapy for 3 weeks". He told me to believe in it. It changed my life I'm 90% cured, I'm very happy again. I enjoy my kids, my life, I can go out in the cold. I got my life back
It's so wonderful to hear about your results with PT!!! Fantastic! Sending love and light your way for continued healing :)
Edward Garrido Did you do internal work at physical therapy?
Edward Garrido I have had right testicular pain for 25 years when I sit down for more than 15 minutes .I have been to every professional you can imagine .This mans exercise regime has helped a lot
Im in tears reading your story . Why do medical professionals put us through this torture. Your so lucky the urologist was responsible for your health and his oath .
How many men have taken their lives due to this .
What therapy u did
I have had this issue for a decade. What helped the most was physical therapy and diet. I had a gut imbalance from antibiotics in the beginning. Gluten, grains and dairy where the major issues. I took apple cider vinegar to kill off a ton of mold from my gut. This was HUGE and got me over the hill. Diet is a massive part of this condition.
What an incredible and honest interview! Thanks for sharing your experience. There are a lot of men out there who are suffering and have been suffering for years some for decades. Getting the right therapist, following their advice, doing regular stretches , doing internal and external trigger point releases, doing diaphragm breathing, doing paradoxical relaxation of mind, keeping a check on your diet, eliminating food, drinks that cause inflammation and staying positive are really some of the key elements in getting better. And there is no silver bullet, its not a quick fix, resolving pelvic pain issues takes time and flare ups along the way are part of this journey which will make you feel dejected and lose hope but you have got to look at the brighter side and stay positive! Thanks again Dr Bri and Michael for this video.

i have the same condition....i am now 60% percent better after 2 years..meditation,stretching and SWIMMING is helping me..
100% now?
This is a mirror story to my battle with IC and pelvic pain 4 years ago. I had exactly the same symptoms and could completely relate to his answer to either pray and find the spiritual side to this pain or just give up. Learning I had in fact developed an antibiotic resistant infection (brought on by....surprise surprise...antibiotics) caused so much satellite pelvic pain I didn’t know which way to go. Finally after finding a pelvic pain therapist, I discovered how my C section scars, hypertonic pelvic muscles and antibiotics over the years from bladder infections, caused this pattern of dysfunction. I’m much better but still it’s a journey. I have so much love and admiration for people who go through this. The pain is unbearable. Thank you for highlighting this issue FemFusion. I love your video’s, professionalism a desire to help people in pain. Blessings from Holland!
It's so great to hear from FemFusion friends around the world! Sending love right back to you, Canoe Girl. So glad you found the root cause(s) of your pain and that you're moving through this journey with grace. I wish you the best as you continue to heal!
How are you now
This interview made me cry. i am so grateful for you both talking openly about your journey. I feel that Michael has really gone to the heart of the matter and taken on board the spiritual implications of this pain. i am a woman but my journey is so similar and its on;y today that i have found this amazing u tube channel. I never considered gut health because i am so used to having a funny tummy i just thought it was normal! I thought my funny eating-( i hardly eat any amount, crave cakes, chocolate, cream and caffine, iam very skinny- ) was caused by being in pain all the time but now i see it could be contributing to the pain. i dont have a lot of stomach upsets but i think that is because i subconsciously, avoid eating. Do you think this sounds like a possible gut issue? My pelvic symptoms are pain, lots of it, and not really anything else. Bless you on your journey. And thank you again.
The gut connection is huge, and definitely one worth exploring! Please consider checkout out this interview: ruclips.net/video/ojDFUcI7Y7M/видео.html
Honestly- I am literally going through this on my own following intuition. So much of what he shared is a exactly what I’m going through and have decided to change my diet back to a clean vegetable/grain/fruit diet. Thank you!
This pain can make us feel like we are alone in this, but knowing we are not gives us strenght to fight it and give each other that push to move forward and, deal with the issue. We can do this, no matter what, never ever give up or let it beat you.
Wishing you the best!
@@ValonHonor Thank you, I appreciate it. 🙏
I have a similar journey with pelvic floor pain and severe low back pain. Its been at least 30 years and chronic, I long for the day to inhale a full breath without pain and also move the body without restriction. I've learned a ton along the way and it launched me into a spiritual quest of survival which in turn prompted 3 books. It's good your talking about it, keep sharing.
What are ur symptoms
@@anshuls8861Chronic sacrum and pelvic pain mostly from groin to low sacrum. Restriction results everywhere else too. Left sterno mastoid, right front shoulder, left hamstring, ect..........
Things were okay lately until 2 days ago. I woke up with a SEVERE sharp pain in upper right thigh and trochanter area. Cant put weight on it, and can't lift my foot more than 4 inches without shooting pain. I think it's a nerve but not sure. Very tough to even use the gas pedal on my car.
@@MrRyanmcmahon do you have gas problem?
@@anshuls8861 never
These 2 people are wonderful. So pleasant to see and hear both of them. I am so happy he has gotten better!
Really cool that (from what I understand) Michael left a comment, then was brought on for an interview, then gave an amazing stretching routine that continues to be one of the most shared and healing videos for pelvic floor.
He's not a doctor, but he studied his pelvic floor issues everyday and what worked and didn't work, so what he brings is almost even more meaningful. A person who has gone through it has a different level of understanding. Props to you for giving him this opportunity to help people.
Thanks for your kind words, Zach. Yes, Dr. Bri gave me a place to share my story, and ultimately, we worked together and have created something that has been DEEPLY needed by many men. I had no idea that I would be doing this work today, but, it is awesome to help people to heal (themselves) in months rather than years of crippling pain. -Michael
My condition isn't exactly the same- I have lateral hip pain, but I can still relate to a lot of this. I am still in my journey to find healing. The most discouraging part has been interacting with doctors/pts who just to be blunt do not care. The most encouraging part has come through my faith, restorative stretching. I believe I will be fully restored.
I've gone through all this. Every possible test have been conducted by physicians in different countries and they all think that it's a gynae issue. But just today I realized that maybe my pelvic muscles and bones are not in the right mood for all these years. But listening to Michael makes me feel there are people like me and especially men. My problem 19 years old but I know that I'm not looking back. Thank you.
How are you doing now, did it get better?
I've been very athletic all my life. I started having symptoms around 20. I'm 48 now. I've been series pain for the last 6 years. I basically diagnose myself. Finally figured out what's wrong with me. The doctors couldn't figure it out.
Double over in pain fixing to pass out. Happens so often. Very scary hurts very bad.
I'm sorry!
I've been suffering from pelvic pain for almost 2 years. I'v had several nerve blocks and recently had my Pudendal Nerve ablated. It gave me some relief but I came across your video and this has really helped with my pain. I am a true believer and will continue to learn how to stretch better. Thanks so much.
How r u now.could u pls help
Hey buddy, I think the reason that it’s better in the morning because you’re sleeping at night and your body becomes relaxed. I have this problem on and off all the time. For many years. I’m 43 years old. The first time it happened I was 26. I was dealing with the stress situation of breaking up with a girlfriend. And, it has happened on and off ever sense. I have noticed something when I’m on vacation it goes away. Have you tried muscle relaxers?
Brian Spurlin one question for you . This pelvic problem did you also have to go to the bathroom a lot
Hi Jessica, great video. I’m a pain psychologist of 15 years in Sacramento, CA, and was wondering if you’ve ever heard of something called TMS ( a term developed by John Sarno, MD)? Besides good nutrition and getting one’s body as healthy as possible, I help my patients apply Sarno’s mindbody approach and continue to be just blown away by how powerful the mind is and it’s effects in producing physical symptoms.
Thank you so much for this great video. Will share with my patients. Thank you for the great stretches and the other videos! You are a blessing to many!
Les Aria, PhD how may i get in contact with you? I have been using the TMS approach for the past year.
About the job part, I work at a I guess you could say a fast food place and I’m always standing or pacing around and a lot of the times it would get super busy I’d stop myself from using the restroom and I’d just be pacing around back and forth doing so many things and I really noticed my body getting so tense and sore. While doing that I’d try to work out while also changing my diet and it’s been a lot at 21 years old now I think this has been going on for about a year but with in the past 6 months it’s been a bit more prominent and it would cause the worst anxiety and fear but I’m so glad I’ve found your channel because when I do practice your videos consistently I feel a difference and when I stop for about a week or two I’ve noticed the pain coming back.
Hi there. Thank you for the message. Sorry to hear that you are experiencing these symptoms. It does, however, sound like you have found that our routines help you feel better. Keep up the great work! It is also very important to address the tension by calming the mind and body, meditation and breath work is a key component of a well-rounded approach to healing CPPS. You can do this!
Best,
Shannon, Team Transform
Thank you guys for such a video. I just heard my last two year life story from other man lips. Passed all stages from antibiotics to fizziological tests from urology test and scans to food diet and joga. Been struggling (and still...) not only with chronic pelvic pain syndrome but fungal contamination as well. From my experience i can confirm everything what Micheal said - 100% truth, it is very valuable information. To get that knowledge takes years, so please share this video to help other who are fighting this toughest battle of their lives. No matter what keep it positive. Donatas
I'm so glad Michael's story could provide you some comfort! Sounds like --- just like Michael --- you're on the right track starting first and foremost with keeping a positive mindset. All my best to you!
Definitely pelvic pain is a muscular tension issue and nervous system arousal....I have been suffering for 3 years
my experience is that scar tissue (from injuries/falls/excessive sitting was the major factory causing my pain, abdominal/butt/pelvis/hamstring scar tissue had me in horrific pain.
Absolutely.
If anyone thinks diet or "gut health" is going to play a major role in getting fixed, youre going to be in for decades of pain.
I have flacid hard syndrome.i tried all the kind of stretching my pelvic pain is there any kind of operation for this. It’s taken me to a point of life where I lost everything and just go away.
@@bangkokstar2432 how did you get it ? Jerking off ?
Bangkok HUBLIFE type Greg hf on RUclips, and buy David mccoids course and stretch daily and you’ll be back to 100% in 6-24 months.
Great interview. Thank you Michael for your openness.
So great to hear a fellow male sufferers story! Michael have you ever considered doing an Elemental Diet? It's about as strict an elimination diet you can get.
I know antibiotics get a bashing from many pelvic floor therapists, but I'd like to point out current mainstream testing options for chronic UTIs and prostatitis are woefully inadequate, and urine cultures will only pick up planktonic bacteria (if you are lucky) that are fast growing. They will completely fail to reveal infection from fastidious slow- growing bacteria, or intracellular bacteria, often hidden in biofilms. Therefore it is entirely plausible that there are many men (and women) that are walking around with untreated infections that the basic tests won't reveal. A few pioneering doctors like Professor James Malone-Lee have done a lot of research into this and have successfully treated many painful bladder and prostatitis patients (with previous negative test results), with ... .. long term antibiotics! It can take years, but many of them get full or almost 100% recovery in the end. He uses the older narrow-spectrum antibiotics that are difficult to develop a resistance to.
Thank you Dr. Bri and thank you Michael! This is an excellent video and so much confirmation has been restored
More doctors and people need to be aware of this issue. I'm also the same, where there's minimal pain in the morning but as the day progresses so does the pain.
Same for me.
Thank you Michael for sharing your story. You are showing us how important it is to listen to our body.
Myo feedback can help too, to change the hyper tonacity of the pelvic floor, together with dryneedling the hyper toned muscles. a pelvic floor specialist can help with this. Also adductors and lower belly muscles can play a role. Also a chiropracter can check the nerves, nerves could be part of the problem as wel, your pelvic bones might need a reajustment.
I have been feeling it for a month and its frustrating, sometimes it feels better but the pain comesback, it has not gotten worse, it is a stable pain sentivity.. this is such a new feeling , I have been deppressed, stressed out, nervous. It messes up the lifestyle, feeling like I can't do anything. I don't even know what to do.
Hey, I have had the same issue 3 months ago and I know how you feel.
Do you have an email etc if you would like to connect etc?
thank you for sharing. very encouraging!
Six years I’ve been suffering from this. I’m about ready to leave this world.
Same here buddy
How are you feeling now?
15 years here, after a broken pelvis in 8 places, 4 surgeries, to find physio is the best solution, Michael is helping a lot! Great video to bring awareness. You just go to to keep on going!
Next step is botox to the pelvic floor, but sceptical about more surgery
I have this evil condition too.
Thank you for uploading. Very informative
Thank you so much Michael for honest personal story, dealing with this issue, I know there is only so much time in a video towards the end you speak of "the spiritual effect" this has had on your life, perhaps you could expand on this, thanks again Michael wishing you all the best! ( I live in Toronto Ontario)
Hey Neil, Thanks for reaching out. Well, this could be a very longer conversation, but ultimately I realized that I "chose to experience" pelvic floor dysfunction to awaken to deeper truths while in this life, so that I could help others to heal and transform into more joyful, aligned, and loving beings. I was able to go from gain to gratitude and appreciation. The pain forced me to awaken; it was a challenging crucible, but I now live a much more aligned and peaceful life, with more purpose and a greater understanding of the underlying reality of all that is. -Michael
This is a great video...thank you especially to Michael...sounds 100% like my story...I will be in contact to share my insights also.
I’ve had this and now am having a relapse. Physical therapy helped a lot. Specifically craniosacral therapy.
Thank you for your interview. Very important to hear

Thank you so much for this video, it gave me some hope for my future. Living every day in pain is devastating. I cannot fully interact with my family and friends with this and my other problems. I live in Frisco, TX. Michael, could you let me know the doctor's name that you mentioned last in the video? I would be interested in talking with someone like him. Thank you for speaking out.

How are you now Lisa?
Lately I have been able to relate to this. I have had g.i track problems for years now and a few months back, began to have pelvic floor pain as well. Thank you for this video, the pelvic stretches has been helping Lately. Most of my pain is in my urethra. My urologist has checked everything though and can't figure it out. It might have something to do with my g.i track issues though.
Also, most of my pain is in my urethra, I've been through this for 5 years already, I visit lots of doctors and made all the exams, I took so many different medicines and nothing, now I understand this is from my nervous system. Probably we have the same thing bro, hope you get better!
Micheal has just described my life and symptoms, testicle pain unable to urinate lower back pain cant work on 12 tablets a day life has been destroyed I am receiving epidural injections and lidocaine infusions in the pain clinic it's been 8 years of hell I've received more information in this video than 7 years of doctors and specialists can I get a list of these exercises ty from ireland
I have a history of 10+ years of pelvic/sexual/lower back pain as a man, Failed physical therapy/yoga/antibiotics at the start. it was Graston technique/ASTYM/Gui Sha that finally started getting me real improvement. I had lots of abdominal/pelvic/pubis/hamstring scar tissue that I slowly broke down. Then this year, started physical therapy and more recently again, started using a wand on the pelvic floor, lots of trigger points/scar tissue. Yesterday I felt finally able to do a yoga class, and I am of course, continuing with the pelvic wand and lower back/pelvic scar tissue break up. Still have about 20% of my original symptoms but I am still improving.
Can u explain what pelvic /lower back scar tissue is?
I'm treated my pelvic pain syndrom 100% successful treatment ... i have suffered 6 years with this bad condition ... the treatment is free for all and we can treat your self in any place in the world ... the treatment is meditation and cardiac breathing ... this condition is created by fear and stress and the pc muscles react to cortisol and adrenalin by contraction ... just 1 month of meditation and cardiac breathing, i'm symptom free
Which treatment or protocol, please provide more info.
which practice you've had please help. Thank you
Bitch which type of meditation
i have been sitting in front of a computer all my life, my lower body is the most unflexible thing ever
I’ve been dealing with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction for 6 months and am going through a flare-up right now of really bad Urinary Retention... I’m 19 years-old and can’t even pee on my own 😞
Steph Curry the 2x FRAUD sorry to hear it Bro, I was 19 when I started getting pf dysfunction. Am 21 now, I have erectile dysfunction and incontinence
Joe baggins i just started seeing a Non-Physician Osteopath who believes that the cause of all my problems is due to Abdominal Adhesions. He hasn’t even treated my Pelvic Floor at all, yet i’m in a lot less pain, discomfort, and the dysfunction is occuring less and less, little by little. He’s using a baby steps approach and i believe in what he says, it actually makes sense for everything that i have, small intestine obstruction (which was later confirmed by a CT Scan), sacroiliac joint dysfunction, Pelvic Floor dysfunction, it cancels everything out with one answer. And i’ve had the Abdominal Adhesions ever since i was a kid, my Appendix ruptured and all the infection spread around my gut, and also because i had a surgery to remove the Appendix, which also causes Adhesions to form as well. I started seeing this guy shortly after my bad urinary retention, and i’m back to peeing on my own and i’ve felt the baby steps towards improvement, little by little! He believes it’s going to take quite a bit of time to feel normal again, and to feel the pain, discomfort, and dysfunction to be completely eliminated, but he really believes that i will be cured. Although he says i’m going to have to make alot of lifestyle changes, such as doing alot of yoga, stretching daily everyday for the rest of my life, taking many supplements to promote regularity and inflammation, and alot of other self-care things. He uses a Visceral Manipulation approach, basically he uses his hands to identify your problems and pain, dysfunction, everything you feel he can feel too with his own hands, it sounds like bullshit (trust me i thought it was too), but when he told me what he felt in my small intestine was actually later confirmed by a scan, i became a complete believer in him. He’s very good at what he does, and i finally feel like i’m on the right path to getting my life back!
Hey man I wanted to ask how you’ve been
@@VinayakSwaroop5 I made a full recovery. Found out alot of my symptoms came from having a neurotransmitter deficiency. A whole lot of symptoms improved with using a Antidepressant. Then tested out a 5 HTP supplement and got even more improvement, Hydroxytryptophan is an amino acid that is used to create Serotonin in the small intestine. Now i've been able to come off the medication and rely solely on the supplement. Definitely was a journey. I thought becoming symptom free was impossible. but i got to that point and now i struggle not having any more big goals to reach or direction in life.
@@pinheadlarry3992 hey bro, thanks alot for your reply, i would like to talk to you on Instagram about how you got out of this situation, so if possible kindly provide your Instagram id.
Thanks man.
I can relate to this so much, only I feel like I’m at a worse place in other aspects my urologist has told me I have ic as a 28 year old. Suffer from sexual dysfunction and urgency and low bladder capacity. I have started down this path once and noticed to a degree remission for a year or so besides the sexual dysfunction, I am now on year 4 of this and I’m at my breaking point and starting down this path again but this time it’s a lifestyle. There is definitely a mind body connection with this issue which is my biggest problem, after being alone due to the issues for 4 years, but I’m trying there is no other option!
I want you to know that healing is possible. I recommend visiting a local pelvic PT for one-on-one support. In the meantime, you can explore the men's program.
I can eat and drink what i want, but as soon as i get cold in my groin the muscles tense up and pain comes. So my body reacts on cold. Warmth, stretching and yoga does the trick.
michael, I will watch your story without interview, so I can keep the steady stream of consciousness. I get distracted easily while experiencing this unique pain I resisted watching something with a dude... huh? I get this; I was an athlete, fit, jazzercise was my friend during difficulty; had broken my pelvis in 22 places at age 34 and totally dislocated my SI joint, so all this now makes sense. The dark times need to be waded thru... My marriage ended during this crazy year of exhaustive pudendal involvement... the 3.5 years prior was what we THOUGHT was sciatic stuff thru the ischial tuberosity. Now I believe it's all pudendal impingement. Doing my best to marshal on.
Hi Mike,
Can you please let me know the stretches or links for that stretches that you done which helped you. Being in India and getting a PT who is a master in male Pelvic pain is a very challenging task :( Guys like you and the you tube videos like this are our only hope. Hope you reply to this

I also think the diet part of pelvic floor dysfunction might just be a placebo effect, or maybe even just foods that help reduce anxiety can help because stress/anxiety contribute alot to PFD. Like even when i got PFD diagnosed, just getting a diagnosis after 2 months of not knowing anything reduced my pain instantly
I wish mine was that simple 😩
Ya totally ! One stressful situation and it's full tilt, a good Milne r or even a good attitude seems too calm it down, sometimes enough to forget, been a 6 year journey and me too also started with stress with a girl, inflammation does make it worse but stress anxiety is the culprit in making it worse or better
Diet is not a placebo effect... trust me
After learning and understanding more from the best holistic healthcare practicioners in the world, I've learned that stress and diet play a huge role in PFD. Stress/Anxiety/Depression, Neurotransmitters, Serotonin, are all connected to PFD. Serotonin deficiency can lead to reduced pain modulation and sensitivity to pain, also physiologically when the body is under stress the body's natural "bracing" response is the fetal position, which causes the shoulders to rise up and the tailbone to tuck, the pelvic floor is connected to the tailbone, and will be in pain with a tailbone that is in spasm. As for diet, inflammation can add more of a bearing gravity to the pelvis, which can add more stress to the pelvic floor which lies at the very bottom of the pelvis. Food sensitivities play a huge role in creating intestinal inflammation, which just adds more gravity to the pelvis, which is like a bookcase. The books are things like constipation and inflammation. Gluten, Corn, Rice, Wheat, and Potatoes were major contributing factors to my PFD, and so was a deficiency in Serotonin. My PFD is completely under my control now, and is managed by however good i want to feel based on motivation for self-care. I'm 22 years-old and after 3 years of learning the incomprehensible from the world's finest minds, i wanted to share this with you all.
@@pinheadlarry3992 where are you from
Just found out that I probably have pelvic pain syndrome. I have known for a while that I have serious bone on bone arthritis in my left hip and have been awaiting surgery. I will consult with my surgeon, but my question for you is, “should I First get pelvic floor, PT and then the surgery, or the other way around. I have found that most of my medical professionals are pretty unfamiliar with pelvic pain, which has been frustrating. Thanks for what you do!
Hmmm...it is always a good idea to approach things naturally first, including with movement and mind-body practices. You might be surprised by how much your symptoms can change, even just via these methods; and if surgery is still required, then that it okay, too.
I have left testicle pain, left abdomen and left kidney pain, all within a week of each other. I've been doing pelvic exercises but not getting anywhere, I've now sunk into a deep depression because of it and I can't see anyway out.
Check out my 6 episode podcast: “The Last Pelvic + Urinary Healing Podcast You’ll Ever Need.”
Interesting connections between the pelvic pain and the mould.
I wonder if his prostate was inflammed or it was just pelvic muscle issues?
Wow, I have the exact same story. My pain is here since 1 and a half years. And it’s so obvious that the muscles in my pelvic floor are also in tension and not being „weak“. I just have a question… You two are talking about „not sitting much“ and „being active“ and so on… But I have a problem that I‘m a programmer and I will not get away with this kind of job PLUS i love gaming, now what would you say, is it possible to overcome all of this while still maintaining my job and my „Love“ for gaming ?
I went to the gym and could only train my upper body because I was scared of training my legs because of the pain. I‘m trying to be as active as possible but I may should try go for walks more to like „balance“ my sitting, my workout, am I right ? Besides of the stretching and muscle relaxing. I just hope I can do it while maintaining the rest.
Hi there. Thanks for the question. If you have not sone so already, you should take a look at our 12 week Overcome Pelvic Pain program. It will guide your through the steps that will allow you to sit comfortably. The goal is to release the muscles and relax the pelvis to the point where you can sit with no problem. In the meantime, vary your positions, if you can use a pillow or a standing desk from time-to-time, that might be a good idea. The key, however, is to address the issue, identify the root cause and overcome it. You can do this!
Best,

This is very sad. I feel exactly how he does prior to seeing his Chinese medicine doctor. Its going 3 years, finally learned in September that my pelvic floor is too tight. I'm extremely discouraged and sad. Coming from someone who loves weight lifting and running this is ruining me. My career is based in this. How long does this realistically take?
It's tough to say; everyone is different, and I'm sending you so much love and light as you work through this! You might also like my Pelvic Pain/Tension playlist. You can view it here: ruclips.net/p/PLDputRBPsHFQJ6PhSXjW54Oi-QoNCqsGL
it took me 3 months of physical therapy, I gave up tennis, which I have been playing for 25 years. competitive sports are a thing of the past, now I walk and do some light jogging.
I feel your pain I’m a 22 year old male and have been suffering for 4 years just started fixing it. It has kept me from enjoying life and has been holding me back. Seeing a pt but I know the Hindi Squat if you hold it 3-5 min and do diaphragm breathing it helps a lot
It’s been over a year, did you get over this? I’m going through the pain right now. Doctor prescribed an ointment that is helping.
@@justballin91hitta14 Hey, what ointment is it? Are you completely fine now? Thanks
Thanks for the interview.
To Michael - can you leave the details of the doctor who was a multi-disciplinary (the one who used kinesiology)? How get I get hold of him? Thanks
I got pelvic floor pain from IBS. Will I need to treat it the same way as this guy?
I’m in so much pain. I can’t sleep and my quality of life is depressing. I went to see a physiotherapist last week for a consultation. I go see her again on Wednesday. Hopefully I can get rid of this pain very soon. I can’t cope with the pain.
I'm sending you best wishes for a great experience with your physio! It's so important to receive one-on-one support (when possible). Good luck to you!
FemFusion Fitness thank you.

Dr Bri is there a chiropractor you can recommend in Seattle area who is good at nutrition and body work. Have been following your channel for 12 years now. I am big fan of your you tube channel

Thank you
Great video
if you have mold where is it exactly? in blood? how do you test for it?
I had these problems bad for a long time, then when I was in basic training it was essentially 8 weeks of only sitting down for a few hours a day. When I got out I never really felt the symptoms anymore, but then I went back to school where I'm sitting in class 8 hours day and now the problems have come back
Epsom Salts is essential for cleaning out the intestine after years of a bad diet (powerful natural laxative), fasting and apple cider vinegar help also.
Can it help with bladder issues?
Can you please share what is the diet information or schedule that you have done so I can follow it. Thank you!
Currently, I eat lean meat (chicken, fish, beef), eggs, lots of vegetables, and rice. I am not eating dairy (except butter), nuts, grains, legumes, black tea of coffee, or sugars (very minimal fruit). I also take Path-DS, Monolaurin, and Super Enzymes with some meals. I have followed this diet for a year now.
Michael Hodge Thank you very much for sharing this information!
Just wondering what are the meals that you take Path-DS, Monolaurin and Super Enzymes with?

Can you get urethral pain because of pelvic floor dysfunction?
Yes. Been suffering from 7 months already. Haven't taken meds in a long time, if it were infection or something i would'nt survive.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. It’s 4:13 am. Another sleepless night, many prayers, relaxation therapy, going to the bathroom with serious bladder perineum 🥵pain 🔥 (glass knives in bladder pain) every 20-30 minutes for years now. Sleeping has gone for me.
I’m wasting away exhausted.
No joy for anything. I spend my life searching to get well. I’ve done everything I can think of. 100’s of RUclipss. Facebook Support Groups. Chiropractor (who wasn’t good)...😌spent thousands of our saved money in his office buying holistic products up to $200+ plus 2/per week....no results after 6 months I never went back. He did no adjustments. Did the body-milk testing with no feedback!!?
You are right, Medical Doctors I’ve found aren’t prepared to help our PFD (Pelvic Floor Disfunction) community that seems to be growing every day.
I sooo wish I were a guy right now. I’m female and Michael, your journey is my journey. I’m sorry you’ve had to suffer like you have. (Mine much much longer - I’m in a very dark and lonely place) My husband and I pray daily together and separately for me to get well for many many years. Now we pray I will die. God’s choice.
There is a piece of the puzzle I have that I don’t think you’ve got. I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis 14+ years ago. Also pudendal Nerve entrapped, due to tightness from bladder pain & constipation pain.

Eating anti-inflammatory food can definitely help !
Hello, anyone here has symptoms in the urethra? I have had urethral pain for 5 years, sometimes it hurts when I go to urinate, and also sometimes when I ejaculate. I'm 28 years now. I tried all the doctors, and several urologists and now I went to one that said to me that this is probably Chronic Pelvic Pain, I started researching about it and it really makes sense. I made all kinds of exams and medication. The only thing that helped me a bit was the psychiatric medicines, like diazepam. I had lots of suicidal thoughts. I have times when I feel better, especially when it's warmer and sunny. Does anyone feel similar?
Hi there. I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this. The key thing to remember is that there is a way out and there is a way to heal. We see it happen all the time. You can do it. Check out our videos, especially the 30 minute stretching routine. Do that routine everyday for a week and you will feel change. You can also check out the Transform Pelvic Pain Program. Reach out with any questions, we want to help you on your healing journey.

How are you feeling now? It sounds like you have pelvic issues but also interstitial cystitis. I have both issues.
@@tracy9397i think they the same thing
Hi. Please help
I am facing urine issue starting and stopping urine and also Erectile Dysfunction and Gas Release problem please help is that my pelvic floor tight or weak
Could Michael's description of his testicle "flipping" have something to do with a mild case of testicular torsion?
Hey great video. I am having this same symptoms. I believe that this came from a colonic I had a few months back from the tube that was inserted in my rectum. I did the colonic because I was having severe GI issues were I was constantly smelling like sewer/fart/poop all the time. I need help for sure. I live close to the bay area. But I go to Dallas often. I need a doctor that understands this problem.
This video is great but i still dont understand what he did to finally cure his pelvic pain, was it the diet with the stretches?
Im trying to find a way myself, I just started feeling it for a month , so frustrated, stressed out, it is such a weird feeling, I sleep well ,wake up with no pain but the day goes by and starts again. I feel the thightness
@@pabloo8837 Yeah I feel the same, did the pain went away?
I did find many vedios saying that you have to strengthen your pelvic muscle. What exactly I have to do Strengthen or Make it relax? Pls answer
What tape of specialist did Michael see?
Is it like a pressure feeling or buzzing feeling in the pc muscle area
Everyone feels things differently. It can be a pressure or buzzing feeling
Im suicidal please somebody talk to me my muscles are weak and I'm fatigue i got a flareup today and i had a burning while and after pee penis tip pain tingling anus pain low back and abdomen pain im so depressed
I bn going thru the similar thing 3 yrs now..., dont give up🙏 keep your faith and keep searching for a technique that willl help you, GOD BLESS
How do you know if you pelvic floor is to tight or too loose? I’ve recently started having a constant need to urinate and that’s really the only symptom. I finish urinating and I can still feel the urge to urinate.
Paul Taylor Golf Instruction it’s tight, same happened with me
Me too, i am suffering from this since 4 years. I'll have to get serious now.
@@AbhishekKumar-vo7wr pelvic floor physical therapy. It works!
@@paultaylorgolfinstruction Hey i would want to add something. I started having pelvic discomfort after my ankle injury. If you can't walk properly because you hurt your ankle, you would automatically tighten your pelvic floor muscles when walking. It's basically an involuntary reflex to tighten your pelvis muscles. So i have deduced that my root cause is my ankle injury. I have it since years. I have to work on both now. Just putting ot out there if anyone needs to know. PS thanks for the reply
@@AbhishekKumar-vo7wr I have a friend that has the same problem. Get the muscles loosened up in the pelvis and the ankle better.
Dr.Bri do you have any specific stretch or exercises that would improve blood flow (circulation) in the pelvic floor areas?
Yes! This one is great: ruclips.net/video/mrAh-lfly0M/видео.html and this one is great too ruclips.net/video/E_zc84fcNR0/видео.html --- just be sure that if you have pelvic pain/tension, that these videos don't aggravate your condition!
how do you find someone who knows how to can test for mold or yeast in the body and how to get rid of it?
Heather Giove I would find an applied kinesiologist or doctor of Chinese medicine.
i fell a pain in my left testis i have done alot of ultrasound and there is no vaicose or anything that cause the pain and i took alot of antibiotics
does the pain in my left testis dur to pelvic muscle contreaction?
That's how it started for me.i started pelvic floor therapy a little over a month. I'm starting to feel a little better now. I'm still having flare ups when I stretch.
How are you now?
@@rafaelthemotivator i had done a cystoscope and i got interstitial cystitis and also i do pelvic floor stretch and i fell a little bit better now? and you how you feel mate ?
@@michellerabadi4388 I started a little over a month ago. And I started having ok days 3 days ago. But I can be ok for half a day and the pain comes out of nowhere. But I hope it starts to become less. There's a chance every 2 weeks that I have noticed. You are probably way ahead now. I'm starting to feel the chance. But I changed my diet completely, and I started taking antifungal natural stuff... like cloves in the morning, cinnamon tea, garlic and I oregano oil ( 3 drops to kill bacteria). And started taking probiotics. But now I've been bloated, gas, and constipated. I don't know if I'm having a Candida overgrowth Die off. I was having problems with my stomach do to so many antibiotics that urologist gave me for a long time, that didn't fix the problem. I think I developed overgrowth candida. And now I'm dealing with this issue. Its very hard to deal with testicle and perineum pain along with bloating, gas and abdominal pain. I feel like I'm being punished. Antibiotics will destroy you real bad. I didn't know anything about the importance of probiotics when taking antibiotics. I was ignorant and my urologist is a complete idiot for not telling me to protect my stomach after all the poison he prescribed me. Now I'm trying to get my health back to normal. But I'm still staying focused on the stretching and going to my physical therapy
Sir please how can I reach you really need to speak with you
I am dealing with this since 2007. I am depressed. This makes my life miserable 😢
I been dealing with this since 2013 around it’s terrible
I just started feeling this a month ago, I thought it would go away fast but, no, sometimes I dont feel it and think it went away but, all of the sudden it comesback, I can't sit long, walking bothers me at times, it is frustrating, its not a pain I cant deal with if it was a one or 2 day thing, but it becomes more painful thinking about it, deppression hits, anxiety, stressing ect.. by hearing Michael makes me sad thinking this could take years to heal if it ever gets healed.
@@pabloo8837 Hey, so where the pain is mostly? I have the same too
where is the pain normally all anywhere around your privates?
@@zorandonkovski2527 yes and in addition to urinary issues
