Pelvic pain in men continues to be misdiagnosed as prostatitis. Antibiotics as well as other prostato-centric approaches have been shown to be of little benefit. The condition is further exacerbated by its association with female pelvic pain issues, compounding the frequently associated feelings of emasculation. This course will introduce you to the individuals who were thinking outside the box [or prostate] over 20 years ago. The panelists are pioneers in their non-prostato-centric approach to men suffering from this condition. These experts employ the principles of myofascial trigger point mapping, paradoxical relaxation and an empowering self care treatment strategy.
Objectives: After attending this course, participants should be able to:
- expand the differential diagnosis of pelvic pain in men outside prostatitis and other prostate-centric disorders
- enhance diagnostic skills to ascertain other causes of pelvic pain in men, which are likely to be non-urological
- increase confidence and efficiency in addressing the symptoms and underlying causes of pelvic pain in men
