3 weeks after my laproscopic bilateral inguinal hernia surgery I got a sharp pain in the tip of my penis that put me in the hospital. Stretching and anti-inflammatory food helped but it's still very recent and praying it isn't permanent damage. Looking into PT now.
@@PelvicHealth Thank you for the response. I have messaged 3 different pelvic floor PT's and none of them responded. Is there one in the Wilsonville, OR area? Just south of Portland.
Here are the directories we have for locating a pelvic floor physical therapist in your area! pelvicrehab.com/ pelvicpain.org/IPPS/Patients/Find_A_Provider/IPPS/Content/Professional/Find_A_Provider.aspx?hkey=ac3c51ec-0939-499f-a6a0-c72d0aa2f427
In your experience can you develope tight pelvic floor (hard flaccid) after ingiunal hernia? And how do you usually fix tight PF? Does hernia operation alliviate tight PF? Thanks!
Yes, it is possible to develop pelvic floor dysfunction after an inguinal hernia. Fixing the hernia will not treat the pelvic floor musculature. A pelvic floor physical therapist is the best provider to treat dysfunctional (tight) pelvic floor muscles.
An inguinal hernia would have to be diagnosed by a physician. The doctor may do a physical examination assessing for a bulge around the groin area and may also order imaging test which can be an ultrasound, MRI or CT scan.
We recommend you see a urologist or pelvic floor PT. Without an exam we cannot offer advice or know what your pelvic health is like or what the cause of your pain is.
I developed urinary problems, perineum pain, etc after I tore my lower abdominals 3 years ago. I had no mesh surgery 1 year ago and im still doing PT to heal the area. I recently added light very light resistance to the squats. I'm not sure if it's causing some discomfort in my perineum (warm burning sensation and ball in the area) and a burning sensation at the tip of my penis. Maybe I did too much too soon?
If you are feeling discomfort or pain, you can always ease off of the exercises you are doing until you feel able to continue. Working a little at a time can help your muscles (when squatting) build up to the resistance that you are giving them during this movement.
This does not happen in every case but yes it is possible that this happens sometimes. This can sometimes be because the associated pelvic floor muscles either restrict blood flow or are restricted and cannot contract properly.

Inguinal hernias may affect some of the nerves that innervate in and around the genitals. It would be important to note where you have pain and if specific activities or positions changed that pain. For example, pushing and straining during constipation may exacerbate the hernia and affect the nerve and symptoms may worsen. That being said, there may be other reasons for the penile pain despite the hernia. During the pelvic PT evaluation, we assess these issues and help to better understand what is causing your symptoms and can provide resources if necessary to other specialists, to address things like hernias.
I have the same issue your not alone , also to the tip and sometimes it shoots up the penis or at back of penis changes from time to time , make my skin feel sensitive
I had double inguinal hernia surgery 4 yrs ago. I have pain on my left side from scar tissue. I am considering having an epdidymectomy as I continue having pain in my right testicle. Can PFT help with these issues I am having?
The first thing to consider is what exactly is causing your persistent pain. Is it actually scar tissue from the surgery? Or, could it be an ilioinguinal nerve injury due to the mesh that was likely used in your hernia repair? Or, could it be due to surrounding musculature that has become dysfunctional secondary to your surgery and persistent pain that has followed. I am somewhat doubtful that an epididymectomy will resolve your pain. A pelvic floor physical therapist should be able to resolve your pain if it is due to scar tissue or muscle dysfunction and may be able to resolve it if it is due to ilioinguinal neuralgia. If it is ilioinguinal neuralgia you may also need further treatment for that nerve such as a nerve block, or possibly a surgical intervention. If you haven't seen a pelvic floor PT for this yet, I would absolutely try that before considering a surgical intervention of any kind.
