What to expect from pelvic floor therapy?

I've been dealing with chronic urethritis for 3 years, which urologists have put down to cpps. I’ve asked for a nhs referral to see a pelvic floor therapist.

I'm not really sure what to expect from them.

Do they all do internal work?

Is that something you ask for?

Are they just going to give me a sheet of paper saying do these stretches?

Gaming causing clenching flared me up... hopefully just temporary

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.

Pee coming out sideways.

(20M) Hi, every time I go to the bathroom and pee my comes out sideways. I realized it because I kept abusing the shit out of it. I would always squeeze it while wearing my pants and underwear and then end up with a lot of ridges and bruises on my peen.

I understand it is maladaptive behavior and I need to do something about it before it becomes an issue.
