Publisher's Synopsis
Kegel exercises are a series of exercises designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, uterus, rectum, and intestines. The exercises involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles repeatedly to improve their strength and endurance.
Kegel exercises are often recommended for various reasons:
Urinary incontinence: Strengthening these muscles can help prevent or reduce leakage of urine.
Postpartum recovery: Women often perform Kegel exercises after childbirth to regain pelvic floor strength.
Improved sexual function: Strengthening these muscles can potentially enhance sexual satisfaction for both men and women.
To perform Kegel exercises, you contract the pelvic floor muscles (the ones used to stop the flow of urine) for a few seconds, then relax them for the same duration. It's essential to do these exercises regularly to see improvement.
