Ketamine's Hidden Toll: Pelvic Floor Damage Affecting Young Adults in Liverpool

Liverpool, UK – A local clinic is drawing attention to a critical, yet often unaddressed, public health concern: the severe impact of chronic ketamine use on the pelvic floor. The Pelvic Floor Queen, a specialist at a Liverpool clinic, reports a worrying increase in young adults in their twenties experiencing significant bladder issues, including incontinence requiring pads or even nappies, and pain during intimacy. "Ketamine is ruining lives in Liverpool, and it's not just mentally," stated the specialist. "I am seeing young men and women in their 20s wearing pads and even nappies because of the damage it's caused to their bladder and pelvic floor." She elaborated on the range of symptoms, which include bladder leakages, urgency, erectile dysfunction, and a complete loss of control in daily life. The clinic is offering a non-invasive treatment called 'The Magic Chair,' aimed at rebuilding pelvic floor strength, improving bladder control, supporting sexual function, and restoring confidence. A free 10-minute trial is available for those seeking support. The clinic emphasizes a non-judgmental approach, focusing solely on providing help to those affected by these long-term physical consequences.
