Urinary Incontinence, Embarrassing Leaks When Sneezing, Coughing, or Laughing
– The accidental
leakage of urine. Strengthening the pelvic floor helps to support the bladder
and other pelvic organs, and provides closure around the urethra to prevent
accidental urine leakage.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
– The dropping of the pelvic organs into the walls of the vagina often brings
a sensation of pressure in the vagina or pelvis, or a sense of “falling out”.
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises helps to reduce pelvic
organ prolapse.
Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles
- Can be the result of chronic straining during bowel movements or heavy lifting,
pregnancy, childbirth, injury, surgery in the pelvis, or obesity. Strengthening the
pelvic floor muscles by doing Kegels helps to reduce pelvic organ prolapse, or urinary
incontinence caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Childbirth Recovery
- Childbirth can result in weak pelvic floor muscles. Strengthening the pelvic floor
muscles by doing Kegels helps to reduce pelvic organ prolapse, or urinary incontinence
caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles after childbirth.
Tightening Vaginal Muscles, Boring Sex Life
- A feeling of looseness can be the result of chronic straining during
bowel movements or heavy lifting, pregnancy, childbirth, injury, surgery in the pelvis,
or obesity. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles by doing Kegels helps to reduce pelvic
organ prolapse, or urinary incontinence caused by weakened pelvic floor muscles, and can
help improve quality of orgasm for women, and improve sensation for their partners.
