How to perform Kegel exercises for men?
Before starting pelvic floor muscle training, you must first find the correct training part-the pelvic muscles.
What are pelvic floor muscles? The pelvic floor muscle is the muscle band between the pubic bone and the coccyx. It supports and controls our bladder and intestines like a small hammock and is closely related to sexual function.
How to find the pelvic floor muscles and exercise them? It is not an easy task. The result of wrong exercising and not exercising at all is the same, and it will not improve your health. We randomly surveyed 800 men from various countries in our customer system (all of them are our delayed spray customers). Of the 736 reports we received, 95.9% (706 people) know what pelvic floor muscles exercise is. Still, only 16.3% (120 people) correctly answered the position of the pelvic floor muscles, and only 4.7% (35 people) of people have had or are doing pelvic floor muscle exercises.
The easiest way to find the pelvic floor muscles correctly is the "holding the urine method." You try to squeeze the muscles in the middle of urination to prevent the flow of urine or the passage of wind. Using this method to pull these muscles inward tightly can help you understand the pelvic floor muscle position. But holding back your urine frequently is not worthy of promotion and it’s dangerous. It will destroy your bladder function. Our purpose is to allow you to find the muscles that need to be exercised accurately.
It’s straightforward. During training, you need to lift the perineum (the position between the scrotum and anus) as the midpoint to exercise your pelvic floor muscles accurately. It is not simply a contraction of the anus or anus levator; it is not a buttock, abdomen, or legs clamped.
Starting training:
- Squeeze and elevate the muscles (pelvic floor muscles). It feels like shortening the penis and elevating the scrotum. There should be a "lifting" handling every time, hold tightly for about 5-8 seconds, and then slowly let go. There is a feeling of "letting go" when putting down.
- Repeat squeezing and lifting, hold tightly for 5-8 seconds, then let go, pause for about 3 seconds and continue, repeat for 10-15 times continuously and form a set, each exercise is divided into 3-4 sets, resting for 1 minute after a set and the exercise is completed.
- Lying-sitting-standing exercise every day (3 sets / 10-15 times per set), once in the morning and once in the evening. The exercise steps do not need to be rigid; the focus is to locate the pelvic floor muscles.
- Pay attention when training: Keep your breathing steady and relax your thighs; only squeeze and lift, let go, and do not tighten your buttocks.
Key point: Persevere! Persevere! Persevere!
How long does it take for the Kegel exercises for men to be effective?
If you exercise continuously, you can see results in 4-6 weeks, such as improvement in erectile dysfunction, alleviating premature ejaculation, and improving urinary control ability. Correct and efficient exercise is the key to your success because the pelvic floor muscles affect many aspects of our body's functions, long-term persistence is necessary. As we age, we should have strong pelvic floor muscles, which guarantee steady life.
