Performing Kegel exercises correctly is essential to ensure that you reap the benefits of pelvic floor strengthening. When done properly, Kegel exercises can improve bladder and bowel control, prevent pelvic organ prolapse, enhance sexual function, and reduce the risk of lower back pain. However, if Kegels are not performed correctly, they may not be effective or may even cause harm.
Common mistakes, such as bearing down or using the wrong muscles, can actually weaken the pelvic floor muscles and increase the risk of incontinence and other complications. It is crucial to learn proper technique from a pelvic floor therapist or other qualified healthcare provider and to practice Kegels consistently in a comfortable and relaxed manner.
