Abstract
Background: There is a growing population of geriatric men experiencing sexual health concerns. These issues may stem from surgical interventions of the prostate gland, age-related changes affecting erectile dysfunction, or other concerns.
Objectives: To illuminate the male sexual dysfunctions lessened via pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation and proper education to assist clinicians in achieving positive patient outcomes.
Methods: The literature was reviewed from 1996 to 2015 using PubMed.
Results: Effective conservative care strategies exist for appropriate patients via pelvic floor muscle therapy, manual therapy, education regarding cardiovascular health, and triage to psychological and sexual counseling.
Conclusion: Efficacy is present for this population, but some conditions are more effectively treated conservatively than others.
