Overview

What the pelvic floor in men does

The male pelvic floor is a sheet of muscle in the lower pelvis. It holds the bladder and bowel in place, supports the closure of the urethra and is involved in sexual function. Like any muscle, it can grow weaker — for instance from lack of movement, with age or after procedures such as prostate surgery. The good news: it can be trained.

How MyPelvi helps

Targeted, discreet, supported.

That way you build strength and awareness. Results vary from person to person; MyPelvi is not a substitute for medical treatment and makes no promises of cure.
