pelvic power book

Post by ramana »

Good book to have and read. It will take time to assimilate the contents though. Wondering if anyone else has read it and found it useful.

There is also a book called PELVIC PAIN available on line.

I read few pages the other day and it was scientific.

Ramana, I've read several of Eric Franklin's books, including this one. Not directly applicable to our situation, I don't think (the "power" in the title should be a key- this book is largely focused on strengthening the pelvic floor, not something most of us are trying to do right now), but I found the explanation and illustrations very useful for conceptualizing/visualizing how pelvic floor and related musculature works.
Age: 36 | Onset Age: 29 (Summer 2005) Main Symptoms (all intermittent): penile/anal/rectal/perineum pain/numbness/tingling/coldness, LUTS, ED | Helped By: duloxetine (Cymbalta), topical benzocaine, occasional benzodiazepines, hot weather, hot baths, understanding friends & family, pushing myself to be more sociable and active, psychotherapy (mostly CBT), diaphragmatic breathing, relaxation, meditation (concentration and mindfulness), adequate sleep | Worsened By: cold weather, stress, inadequate sleep, prolonged sitting or standing in place, walking uphill, heavy exercise, erection/ejaculation (sometimes)
Last But Not Least: I am not a medical/health professional of any kind. This is not medical advice.

Do a Google research on Capsaicin receptors and you may find the whole book(or almost) on-line.
