can you treat pelvic floor dysfunction by yourself? when i go to the bathroom, i can't try to push, that is why i think my sphincter can't relax due to straining with previous bowel movements?

Question

Feels like my whole body is bruised, hurts when try to use the bathroom..But i feel fine no stomach pain and i don't feel constipated. Is it normal to not have a bowel movement for 3-4 days?

Answer 1

Not so simple: There are a number of physical therapists who specialize in pelvic floor dysfunction. If you truly do possess this, first there is a need to try to uncover cause and confirm the location. Try to achieve an evaluation via an OB-GYN doctor. The therapy can be very helpful but could take several weeks to months.

Answer 2

Several ways: Topical medication, freezing, laser, surgical excision among other things.

Answer 3

Haven't heard of it: Haven't heard of st. John's wort causing liver inflammation. The wort does increase activity of some liver enzymes, thus leading to faster breakdown of other medications (the enzymes in the liver break down the other medications more rapidly, if the person is taking st. John's wort). So, medicines like xanax, (alprazolam) elavil, oral contraceptives, statins for cholesterol, etc... May become less potent.

Answer 4

1 reported case: I agree with dr. Kwok that st. John's wort is generally safe, and that it can alter metabolism of other drugs being taken. There are rare reports of liver toxicity with it, usually when used along with other medicines that can affect liver function. Such as: http://tinyurl.Com/9g42dq3 the authors focus on the "wort" but this may not be appropriate. For more info: http://tinyurl.Com/8czuogt.

Answer 5

Removal : Of the diseased liver and implantation of the healthy new liver.

Answer 6

Exercise : Adding exercise and self control by reducing portion intake and eating the right foods while counting calories is best. Increase fruit and fiber intake if not eating enough. Take a yoga course or start swimming if not already. Good, low impact exercises. If considering surgical options, know that the best procedures and surgtons usually require that one starts losing weight first.

Answer 7

Constipation: Constipation causes are variable. Is diabetes well controlled? Increase dietary fiber and water intake. Fiber supplement such as benefiber or citrucel or konsyl may be of benefit. If problem persists, see your doctor.
