I’ve been dealing with pelvic floor dysfunction and hard flaccid for about 4 years.

Over the past month and a half, I played video games on my phone fairly often—around 20–30 days total. On most of those days, I played for about 2 hours, and on 5–10 days I played closer to 4 hours (usually split into two 2-hour sessions with a break in between).

While gaming, I noticed that my pelvic floor would automatically clench quite hard without me intending to. Since then, my symptoms have flared up, including pain and discomfort.

During most of this time, I was lying on my back in bed with my knees bent while playing. So I was never sitting.

Given this situation, I’m concerned about whether this repeated clenching during gaming could have caused any nerve damage, particularly involving the pudendal nerve.

I wanned to play games again with my bros and I feel like because of PFD im being left out in so many things. I also wanned to "retrain" my brain that playing games is safe but clearly without success.
