Kegel exercises
Kegel exercises are simple movements designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, uterus, and rectum, playing a crucial role in urinary control and overall pelvic health. Kegel exercises can be performed by both men and women and are often recommended for those experiencing issues like urinary incontinence or pelvic discomfort.
To perform a Kegel exercise, one must first identify the pelvic floor muscles, typically done by stopping urination midstream. Once located, the individual can contract these muscles for a few seconds, then relax. Repeating this process several times a day can lead to improved muscle tone and function.
