Have you ever had to pee <em>really <\/em>badly but just couldn\u2019t get to a bathroom? And so had to squeeze the muscles in your pelvic area just to hold it in? If so, you\u2019ve already done Kegels! This exercise entails contracting the muscles of your pelvic floor over multiple reps, and all people can partake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Benefits of Kegels<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the exercises you do when you hit the gym, Kegels are used to strengthen your muscles. Specifically, these exercises strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which support your uterus and bladder. Because of this, they can improve your recovery after childbirth in some wonderful ways. Kegels are recommended <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during pregnancy<\/span> because they can help prevent urinary incontinence and back pain, and are often recommended after pregnancy for the same reason. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how you give birth, your pelvic floor has done an enormous amount of work during pregnancy, and almost all <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">postpartum<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> folks can benefit from some pelvic floor training. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kegels are also famous for improving your sexual experience by giving you more intense orgasms. Not too shabby! Because they\u2019re a very discreet internal movement, you can do Kegel exercises anywhere and no one will even know. With all these benefits, what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to do Kegels:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First, find the right muscles: <\/strong>You can initially identify your pelvic floor muscles by trying to stop urinating midstream. If you can stop the stream, you\u2019ve found the right muscles!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Practice makes perfect:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve found your pelvic floor muscles, you should tighten them, hold the contraction for five seconds, and then relax for five seconds. Try this several times in a row, and slowly build up toward holding the contraction for 10 seconds at a time and then relaxing for 10 seconds. You\u2019ll want to aim for three sets of 10 repetitions each day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A few don\u2019ts:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve identified the right muscles, don\u2019t do Kegels while urinating, as this can cause your bladder to not empty entirely and increase your risk of urinary tract infection. Also, do be sure you\u2019re contracting the right muscles. Don\u2019t flex muscles in your buttocks, thighs, or abdomen, and do try to target just those pelvic floor muscles. And as you contract and relax, don\u2019t hold your breath, but breathe deeply and freely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it a habit: <\/strong>Many people find these exercises easiest to do while lying down, at least initially, because it feels easier to target the right muscles in this position. But once you get the hang of things, you can do them anytime, anywhere. To make these exercises a part of your regular routine, it can be helpful to <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pair them <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with regular<\/span> habits throughout your day, like brushing your teeth or washing your hands. Consistency with Kegels leads to the best results!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any new exercise you want to add to your routine\u2014and certainly, if you\u2019d like to know if Kegel exercises could be of particular benefit to you\u2014be sure to speak with your healthcare provider to learn more. Pelvic floor therapy can encompass many different exercises and routines. There<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;are so many options if Kegels aren\u2019t right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reviewed by the Ovia Clinical Team<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read more<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/guide\/10302\/urinary-incontinence-when-pregnant\">Urinary incontinence when pregnant<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"\/guide\/10526\/c-sections\">C-sections: what they are and when to get them<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mayo Clinic Staff. &#8220;C-section Risks.&#8221; <em>Mayo Clinic.<\/em> Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, August 4 2015. http:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/tests-procedures\/c-section\/basics\/risks\/prc-20014571.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mayo Clinic Staff. &#8220;Kegel exercises: A how-to guide for women.&#8221; <em>Mayo Clinic.<\/em> Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, September 25 2015.
