Yay!! Thanks so much - means a lot coming from a clinician! We are excited to start offering peds pelvic health at our clinic in Orange County in April!! Keep in touch!
I had a chronic anal fissure for over six months which (thank god) healed fully, but resulted in pelvic floor dysfunction. CRS sent me to PFPT, which is slowly helping, but I’m noticing constipation (I used to go once or twice daily, now once a day or every other day and at variable times). I never even realized that this could be part of my pelvic floor stuff, but now it makes sense. I’m drinking a lot of water and trying to supplement with fiber supplements and eat better, and taking bit of miralax, but it still feels like my transit time is very slow. I work from home and I’m pretty sedentary so I think exercise might be the first step towards helping things along. My pelvic floor therapist told me to walk and breathe. Thank you for this info!!!

can you explain, please that thing with 3 times a day or 3 times/ week.... if we all eat 3 times a day? The food is not digested the same way? people could have stool in their bowl for so many days without pooping and it is still ok? Thank you
The variability of normal here is a big range. Eating does increase the movement of the colon, but eating does not necessarily move the food all the way through the bowels. In fact, it is normal for all of us to have stool in our bowels and not necessarily "poop it all out". In general, most of us (if we poop once per day) are pooping the remainder of what we ate 24 hours ago. So there is always some amount of digestion going on at different parts of our digestive system. For some, its more than that ... for other its less and can still be "normal" and healthy. I hope that helps to clarify!

Is this a general DPT or a pelvic PT?! There is so much more you can do for constipation and there are tons of reasons why the consitpation can be happening in the first place. All of which are more complex than the answer you got! EMG would not be useful in my opinion - the readings don't mean much and we don't use that in our clinic very often. You might need a second opinion from another PT! ;-)
Please anyone see this comment finish it. I'm 21 I'm suffering from pelvic floor dyssynergia. I pee a lot .

Thank you!! So helpful, do you have any recommendations for pelvic PTs near Chicago?
Did you find one? Northwestern Hospital’s Dr. Brenner’s office has a comprehensive list.
Nicole at Rush PT.
Jana RIchardson at Chicago Pelvic!
I'm seeing a DPT all she said was to take something for constipation. Would an EMG scan be helpful for this?
