An Intro to Male Sexuality and Pelvic Pain

2 Contact Hours

It’s been said that up to 1 in every 6.25 men will experience symptoms of ‘prostatitis’ or pelvic pain at some point in their lives.

This 2-hour webinar will provide an overview of our current understanding of male pelvic pain, the impact that pelvic pain has on men's lives, and what we can do as health providers to better serve these men.

This pre-recorded session originally aired during the fall symposium.
