Men’s Health
At Women’s & Pelvic Health Physio Riverland we see a variety of men’s health conditions. Urinary dysfunction & lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are also common in men. These symptoms may occur in men whom experience prostate cancer & require radical prostatectomy (RP) or a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
