Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic exercises, are designed to enhance muscle tone by stretching the pubococcygeus caudalis muscle in the pelvic floor. Kegel exercises can help treat vaginal prolapse and prevent uterine prolapse in women, as well as prostate pain, BPH, enlargement and prostatitis in men and urinary incontinence in both men and women. Kegel exercises can also improve sexual satisfaction and help men reduce premature ejaculation. Kegel exercises can also prepare the pelvis for the physical stresses of late pregnancy and childbirth.
