Kegel exercises are an easy activity you can engage in to instantly begin to increase your sexual function and health. Normally used by women after giving birth, this exercise helps strengthen muscles that are responsible for holding in blood and maintaining your stamina. When not used, these muscles can become weakened and fail to help aid in triggering and maintaining an erection as usual. Men who practice these exercises regularly experience benefits to stamina, potency, and erectile quality.
Little do most men know, there are exercises that can simultaneously prevent the chance of developing erectile dysfunction as well as provide an increase to your stamina and ability to have orgasms. These exercises, called Kegels, also can help prevent incontinence in men later in life or due to a surgery. The purpose of Kegel exercises is to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
The pelvic floor muscles are a sling-shaped string of muscle and ligament that runs from the pubic bone to the base of the spine. These important muscles help to provide support from the underside to organs and tissues in the area. There are 19 small muscles within this stretch, and some of these are vital to sexual function tied to stamina and blood flow to the penile cavity.
Specifically, a vital muscle in this group is called the bulbocavernosus muscle that rests at the base of the penis. This muscle opens and closes to allow blood flow to engorge the penis for an erection, and when this muscle is weakened or not regularly used, it will begin to either remain closed or open longer than it should. This leads to decreased stamina in the bedroom as well as difficulty maintaining a proper erection. This muscle is one of the first to weaken, and if its strength isn’t maintained, it stops functioning properly.
Kegel Exercises
Mainly popular with women after giving birth, Kegel exercises can help to strengthen the important group of pelvic floor muscles. In women, these exercises help to further support the bladder, bowels, and uterus, and simply the bowels and bladder in men. But pelvic floor exercises aren’t only important as men age. In younger men, the muscles can become too tight – known as a hypertonic pelvic floor. This is a problem which affects fit, gym-going types. When men perform these exercises, it helps condition and relax the muscles. Men need both of these actions because those who attend the gym or stress frequently may be consistently contracting the muscle, making it overly tightened. This can cause them to be restricted and tug at the pubic bone, which experts believe leads to blood being cut off from providing girth to an erection, as well as incontinence.
When performing Kegel exercises, you contract and relax the pelvic floor muscles as a whole. This provides tension to weakened muscles as well helping overly tightened muscles relax. Kegels are simply done by contracting your pelvic floor muscles as if you are holding in the sensation of going to the bathroom. This is normally done for ten seconds, and then you are to think about relaxing the muscles for the same amount of time.
Kegel exercises are a do-it-yourself method that can help you naturally and effectively combat some of the possible root causes that are leading to your sexual dysfunction. By performing these exercises three times a week, you can increase your stamina, potency, and erectile quality within months in combination with a balanced diet.
Kegels can be a part of your strategy to combat sexual dysfunction. To learn about additional nonsurgical options, call a HealthGAINS Wellness Advisor at (866) 540-3555 for a free consultation.
