OverviewKegel exercises are often associated with women, but they can also be very beneficial for men. These exercises focus on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and bowel, as well as affect sexual function. What are Kegel Exercises? Kegel exercises involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor. These muscles can be identified by trying to stop urination mid-stream or by tightening the muscles that prevent passing gas. Some Benefits of Kegel Exercises for Men 1. Improved Bladder Control: Strengthening the pelvic floor can help with urinary incontinence, especially after prostate surgery. 2. Enhanced Sexual Performance: Kegel exercises can lead to improved erectile function and increased control over ejaculation, which may enhance sexual satisfaction. 3. Support for Prostate Health: Regularly practicing Kegel exercises may help reduce the risk of prostate issues. Few Key points to Perform Kegel Exercises 1. Identify the Right Muscles: As mentioned, you can identify your pelvic floor muscles by trying to stop urination. Once you know where these muscles are, you can do the exercises in any position, though lying down or sitting is often easiest at first. 2. Contract the Muscles: Tighten your pelvic floor muscles and hold the contraction for about 3 to 5 seconds. Make sure to breathe normally during the contraction. 3. Relax: Release the contraction and relax the muscles for the same amount of time. 4. Repeat: Aim for 10 to 15 repetitions per session. You can do Kegel exercises three times a day. Some Tips for Success - Consistency: Like any exercise, consistency is key. Try to incorporate Kegel exercises into your daily routine. - Avoid Straining: Don't hold your breath or tighten your abdominal, thigh, or buttock muscles. Focus solely on the pelvic floor. - Gradual Progression: As your muscles get stronger, you can gradually increase the duration of each contraction and the number of repetitions.
