What Is Hard Flaccid?
Hard Flaccid Syndrome is a pelvic floor condition in which the penis remains semi-engorged or firm while flaccid. It may come on gradually or suddenly, often following trauma, intense exercise, prolonged sitting, or even emotional stress.
Common Symptoms
-
Constant semi-erection while flaccid
-
Numbness or decreased sensation in the penis
-
Pain or discomfort in the pelvic floor, perineum, or rectum
-
Urinary urgency or difficulty
-
Erectile dysfunction or delayed ejaculation
-
A sense of tightness or pressure in the groin
-
Anxiety or stress related to symptoms
We See Hard Flaccid Differently
While many practitioners assume Hard Flaccid stems from vascular (blood flow) issues, we know the real culprits often lie deeper — in the pelvic floor, fascia, and nervous system.
At Pelvic Health NJ, we recognize that:
-
The fascia of the pelvic floor attaches directly to your thoracic spine
-
Nerve irritation or entrapment can mimic vascular symptoms
-
Tightness and dysfunction in the deep pelvic muscles can cause everything from numbness to persistent pain
-
Every patient’s journey is unique — and so is their treatment

Our Process: Personalized Care Backed by Science
We don’t chase symptoms. We dig deeper.
✅ Step 1: Proper Diagnosis
Through a comprehensive in-person consultation, we assess your posture, movement patterns, pelvic muscle tone, and nervous system health.
✅ Step 2: A Customized Game Plan
We build a personalized treatment strategy based on your body’s needs — not a one-size-fits-all theory.
✅ Step 3: Fascia & Nerve Mobilization
We often begin treatment by mobilizing the thoracic spine to release tension along the fascial chains connected to the pelvic floor — helping reduce pressure, restore nerve health, and promote full-body alignment.
