His and Her Health

After I masterbate I become constipated for months at a time. My muscles dont seem to work the same as I always feel like I have to go to the bathroom and when I do go I often feel sick. I also have gas and an increased frequency in urination. Is it possible that after masterbating my lower interior muscles are effected? Could it have anything to do with my pelvic muscles? Or my Levator Ani muscle? Ive been doing a lot of research online and there are others with similar symptoms?

It does sound like your pelvic floor muscles are spasming and tightening after you masturbate. when you orgasm the muscles contract to aid in the orgasm; however, if the muscles are abmornally tight or spasmed, they have a difficult time relaxing afterwards. This can result in constipation, urinary frequency, urgency and retention. I suggest seeking out someone who specializes in pelvic floor dysfunction: www.nva.org, www.pelvicpain.org, www.ica.org, ic_network.org, www.apta/womenshealth.org (and click on PT locator).

My book, Heal Pelvic Pain, may also answer some of your questions.

Good luck, amy
