pelvic floor exercises

Pelvic floor exercises, often referred to as Kegel exercises, involve contracting and relaxing the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowels. These exercises can help strengthen the pelvic floor, improve bladder control, and enhance sexual function. To perform them, simply tighten the pelvic muscles as if you're trying to stop urination, hold for a few seconds, then relax. Regular practice can benefit both men and women, especially after childbirth or with aging. It's a discreet way to promote overall pelvic health and prevent issues like incontinence.
