When a medical check-up makes sense

Training is not a substitute for medical advice

This programme is training – it can support you, but it does not replace a medical assessment. In most cases, pelvic floor training is a sensible, low-risk thing to do. There are, however, situations where you should seek medical advice first or alongside.

These signs should be checked

Talk to a doctor if: - the symptoms appeared suddenly, - there is never an erection, even in the morning or at night, - there is pain, - you have a known cardiovascular or diabetes condition, - or you take medication regularly.

Such signs can have physical causes that should be assessed by a doctor – precisely because erection problems can be an early sign of vascular issues.

Continuing to train alongside is fine

A medical check-up and the training don't rule each other out – you can usually keep using the programme while you get examined. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness – and often the quickest path to clarity and a calmer mind.
