Men's Health Physiotherapy in Colchester, Essex 

Many of our patients come to us seeking men's health physiotherapy in Colchester, Essex to treat a number of different conditions. As men age, difficulties surrounding urination and the bladder become far more common for various reasons like enlargement of the prostate gland, medications, surgery, nerve problems, an overactive bladder, and many more. As a result of this, many men experience changes linked to their flow, storage, frequency, and urgency of urination. While this is extremely common, the subject itself is often seen as embarrassing and causes men to suffer with these problems in silence for long periods of time. However, Bodyworks Physiotherapy is here to help with our programme of men's health physio in Colchester, Essex so what are you waiting for? Give us a call today to get booked in and get back to living your life without constantly worrying about your bladder! 
What Flow Problems Can Men Encounter? 
 
One in three men over 50 years of age experiences some difficulty in passing water. The way men pass water changes gradually as they get older, so at first they may not notice there is a problem.  
Typical changes include: 
 
Difficulty or delay in starting to pass water 
A smaller and weaker urinary stream, so it takes longer to pass water than it used to 
After finishing, a bit more urine trickles out 
A feeling of not quite having emptied the bladder 
 
Storage Symptoms / Overactive Bladder Symptoms: 
 
Increased frequency of bladder emptying 
Urgency alone or with urge incontinence (leakage) 
Stress incontinence (leakage) 
Increased Frequency of Bladder Emptying: 
 
This refers to passing urine more often than usual in the daytime, and if there is also a need to get up at night, this is termed nocturia. Contributing factors can include: 
 
Fluid amount and type 
Cold weather 
Diuretics ('water' pills) 
Overactive bladder 
 
Urgency Alone or With Urge Incontinence: 
 
This means the urgent desire to empty the bladder, which if not responded to promptly, might lead to leakage of urine before reaching the toilet. 
Stress Incontinence: 
 
This refers to leakage on coughing, straining or any exertion, and is uncommon in men, apart from post prostate surgery. 
 
Spinal Injury / Prostate Surgery:  
 
Stress incontinence can occur if nerve damage has occurred due to spinal injury, or if the urethral muscles or nerves are damaged after a prostate operation.  
 
You should discuss this with your doctor and the urologist
