| How do I do Kegel
exercises? |
| First, practice
starting and stopping the flow of urine when you urinate. This will help you know which
muscles to use for these exercises. |
| When you are not urinating, tighten
these muscles and hold the contraction for 4 seconds. Do this 10 to 20 times. Allow the
muscles to relax completely between contractions. |
| Do these sets of contractions 10 times
a day. Performing fewer repetitions than this will lower the effectiveness of the
exercises. |
You can do Kegel exercises anywhere: while sitting
at a desk, waiting for a bus, washing dishes, driving a car, waiting in line, or watching
television. No one will know you are doing them. Many women see a change for the better
after doing the Kegels for just a few weeks. However, you may not notice a lot of
improvement until after 3 to 6 months of daily exercises. You should continue doing Kegels
every day to keep the pelvic muscles strong. |
