Male pelvic pain is complex - there so many different areas to evaluate and clear. Often it can be overwhelming and we jump straight to breathing and the pelvic floor.

In this Missing Piece episode from the Rising Vault, we’re highlighting a commonly overlooked factor in male pelvic pain:

💡 The spermatic cord.

This structure runs along the inguinal canal, carrying essential nerves and blood vessels that impact function and pain.

Here’s why it matters:
👉 Many male pelvic pain patients have tenderness, inflammation, or tightness in the spermatic cord.
👉 Focusing only on the pelvic floor misses a key component of the pain cycle.
👉 Treating the spermatic cord early can lead to faster symptom resolution.

If you're treating penile, testicular, or scrotal pain, this is something you should be assessing and treating within the first few visits.

Tune in to learn why this critical structure could be the missing link in male pelvic pain treatment!
