Hard-Flaccid Syndrome

Hard-flaccid syndrome is a condition where the penis remains in a semi-rigid state, even when not erect. This can cause discomfort, difficulty with urination, and problems with sexual function. It is often linked to pelvic floor dysfunction or anxiety-related conditions. Treatment typically focuses on relaxing the pelvic muscles, managing anxiety, and pelvic floor rehabilitation.

  • Hard-flaccid syndrome is a condition characterised by a penis that remains rigid or semi-rigid while flaccid. This can result in discomfort, pain, or difficulty achieving full erection during sexual activity. It is believed to be caused by pelvic floor muscle tension or nerve dysfunction, sometimes linked to anxiety, stress, or trauma. The condition can also occur after sexual activity or as a result of excessive sexual stimulation. Pelvic floor rehabilitation is a key treatment approach, aimed at relaxing the affected muscles and restoring normal function.

  • The primary symptom of hard-flaccid syndrome is a semi-rigid or hardened penis when flaccid, which may cause discomfort or difficulty with sexual intercourse. Other symptoms may include pelvic pain, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction.

  • Hard-flaccid syndrome is more common in men with pelvic floor dysfunction, anxiety, or those recovering from excessive sexual activity or trauma. It can also be linked to other conditions such as erectile dysfunction or prostatitis.
