How to Do Kegel Exercises
The pelvic floor muscles are responsible for controlling the flow of urine and for holding the pelvic organs in place. It is important that these muscles stay strong. Kegel exercises help do that. Kegels are prescribed for stress incontinence, where a person leaks urine when coughing, sneezing or when lifting heavy stuff, for urge incontinence where there is a sudden strong urge to urinate before the urine comes out uncontrollably and for weak pelvic floor muscles following childbirth.
