Kegel exercises are based on voluntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles, followed by relaxation. However, it is important to recognise which muscles need to be contracted in order to perform Kegel exercises properly and reap the full benefits.
Kegel exercises are a group of activities that help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises help control urinary incontinence, facilitate childbirth and provide a great benefit in sexual intercourse to achieve pleasure.
In addition, Kegel exercises reduce the risk of hemorrhoids by increasing blood flow. Another advantage of these exercises is that they avoid an episiotomy in women.
