What Are Kegel Exercises, and How Do They Improve Pelvic Health? - #15443
I recently came across Kegel exercises, and I was curious to learn more about how they work. From what I understand, Kegel exercises help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, but what exactly are the benefits, and who should be doing them? I read that Kegel exercises are recommended for women after childbirth, people with urinary incontinence, and even men for prostate health, but how do you know if you’re doing them correctly? Are there any common mistakes people make while performing Kegel exercises? One thing that concerns me is that some people may have weak pelvic floor muscles, while others may have overactive pelvic muscles. How can someone determine whether Kegel exercises are beneficial or harmful for their condition? Are there any Ayurvedic or natural remedies that help support pelvic muscle strength and urinary control? I’ve heard that Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Triphala can help improve pelvic floor function—do these actually work? If anyone has tried Kegel exercises, what results did you notice? Did they help with bladder control, sexual function, or postpartum recovery?
