Pelvic floor

Hi all

I had anterior resection for a low rectal tumour 4 years ago which unfortunately recurred in the margin so I had an AP resection last year

I am in my 50s and still very active with running and going to the gym. I get pelvic pain when I exercise sometimes which a physio thinks is from my pelvic floor which has been massively damaged by the surgery and radiotherapy

I can't find any info about pelvic floor problems after AP resection. Does anyone have any experience of it?

I want to keep exercising as much as I can

Many thanks

Hi,

mare you having treatment with NHS or privately?

I have treatment, surgery and follow ups privately, my doctor send me to a physiotherapist specialist in rectal and pelvic floor problem. Not nice to do it but if you are willing to go through it ask your factor about it.

I hope I have helped you
