Benefits of Kegel Exercise for Health

Kegel exercises are known for their role in sexual satisfaction. Anytime you train a muscle group, whether it’s in the erogenous zone or not, you’re increasing the blood and oxygen’s ability to reach that area. The increased flow of blood and oxygen translates into increased sensitivity, which is the most amazing thing in your intimate area.

You may have been doing Kegel exercises by accident without realizing it. Kegel is a sport you can do anywhere, anytime – it just requires you to flex and hold your pelvic floor. Try to imagine the feeling of your pelvic muscles when you really feel like urinating but you try your best to hold it in. Well, more or less you have done Kegel exercises.

But you know, Ma, it turns out that not only can increase sexual satisfaction, Kegel exercises are also beneficial for health. Dr. Marc Leavey from Mercy Medicine, USA, revealed that there are other benefits of Kegel exercises if you make them a routine exercise:

1. Reduce risk
Bladder incontinence. According to Leavey, the more you align your pelvic floor, the less you will want to pee when you sneeze, laugh, or go for a jog. Leavey explains, “The more you tone your muscles, the less you deal with the urge to pass urine unconsciously or bladder incontinence the more you age.”

2. Return to fit after delivery.
“There are several parts of the anatomy that undergo changes in shape, such as a woman’s pelvis after giving birth,” Leavey said. “Just as exercise or exercise can help a sprained ankle return to its original state, well-done Kegel exercises can help a woman’s body return to its pre-pregnancy or pre-pregnancy state.”

3. Reduce back pain. If you have ever done Pilates, you may have heard an instructor tell you that your core muscles are part of a large group and can help prevent injury. Of course, the muscles used in Kegel exercises count as your core muscles. “Focus on the pelvic floor that leads to the sore back,” says Leavey, “So straightening those muscles will reduce pain.”
