My gastroenterologist np wants me to start this therapy but I want to know the results of my anal manometry test first. Did you have an anal manometry test? If so, I’m wondering if you could share the results. Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

Sure thing, @bouli. I am encouraged to hear pelvic floor therapy is an option for you.

I did have an anal manometry test a few years ago that led me to my initial therapy, and then a couple of months ago with some follow-up. My understanding is there can be problems with strength and/or coordination. My testing showed dysfunction then therapy worked from there to confirm a problem with coordination, particularly not being able to completely relax in between tensing my muscles. I am happy to share anything that will help if you have more questions.

Have you heard anything about your testing?
