Amit Roy, a 32-year-old software engineer,...
Amit Roy, a 32-year-old software engineer, had been experiencing sharp, burning pain at the tip of his penis during intercourse for over a year. Initially, he dismissed it as stress from his demanding job, but it persisted, causing him to avoid intimacy with his wife, leading to strain in their marriage. He felt isolated and emasculated, believing the issue was psychological. After a referral from his GP, Dr. Sharma, an obstetrician and gynaecologist specializing in sexual pain disorders, diagnosed him with secondary dyspareunia, likely stemming from a tight, non-relaxing pelvic floor (hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction). Dr. Sharma recommended a course of pelvic floor physical therapy. Amit was initially skeptical and embarrassed, but his therapist provided a compassionate, educational approach. Treatment involved internal and external manual therapy, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques. After 8 weeks of weekly sessions and daily home exercises, Amit's pain decreased by 80%. He and his wife resumed a fulfilling sexual relationship. Emotionally, he moved from shame and frustration to relief and empowerment, realizing his condition was a common, treatable medical issue.
