Pelvic Floor physical therapy

[thinktink16.livejournal.com]

Hello all!

I'm going for my first consult with a pelvic floor physical therapist on Thursday, and I was wondering if someone can maybe share a similar experience. My problem is with chronic urinary pain accompanied by frequent UTIs. I've seen an amazing urologist who, after ruling out several options, decided that it might be a good idea to try physical therapy to see if my urinary walls just need a bit of relaxing. I'm a little skeptical though...can physical therapy even help frequent UTIs?

Can anyone tell me what kinds of exercises my visit might entail or any other helpful tidbits of what to expect? I'm 24 and rather sexually active with one partner, if that's helpful information at all about my relevant background.

Thanks!

The spectrum of things

Hello vagpag!

So for once I come with not a question but a very interesting video that I found. This guy basically explain the spectrum of human sexuality, gender, and behavior in under 4 minutes, which, seeing as we sometimes have long discussions on the subject, I thought might be relevant for the purpose of the archives, if the general vagpag populace agrees that it is a good resource.

The premise of this video is a video blog between two brothers who are very close but live literally across the country so they communicate in 4-minute videos on YouTube. They're often funny and informative, and this, IMHO, is a very good explanation of the subject of human sexuality and gender expression in this short of a timeframe.

What do you peeps think?
