What is Hard Flaccid Syndrome (HFS)?
Hard Flaccid Syndrome (HFS) is a distressing yet treatable condition that affects men’s pelvic health. It is characterized by a semi-rigid flaccid state, pelvic pain, numbness, and erectile dysfunction. Many men struggling with HFS feel anxious and hopeless, but the good news is that recovery is possible with the right approach.
This video explains how Oisin recovers from HFS. How his nervous system dysfunction, chronic stress, and pelvic muscle tension contributed to HFS symptoms and, most importantly, how to overcome them.
Understanding the Mind-Body Connection in Hard Flaccid
One of the key takeaways from the video is that stress and anxiety play a huge role in maintaining HFS symptoms. When the body is in a constant “fight-or-flight” state, the pelvic muscles remain tense, preventing proper blood flow and healing.
Key Recovery Steps:
- Relaxing the pelvic floor through deep breathing and stretching
- Calming the nervous system with meditation and mindfulness
- Reducing anxiety and stress to break the cycle of tension
