Kegel exercise, also known as pelvic-floor exercise, involves repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor, now sometimes colloquially referred to as the "Kegel muscles". The exercise can be performed multiple{{quantify|date=February 2019}} times each day, for several minutes at a time, for one to three months, to begin to have an effect.{{cn|date=February 2019}}

Kegel exercises aim to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.[1]

These muscles hold up the human bladder and help to keep it from leaking.[2][3] People usually perform such exercises to reduce urinary stress incontinence (especially after childbirth) and to reduce premature ejaculation in men.[4][3]

Several tools exist to help with these exercises, although various studies debate the relative effectiveness of different tools versus traditional exercises.[5]

The American gynecologist Arnold Kegel first published a description of such exercises in 1948.

Health effects

Factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, aging, being overweight, and abdominal surgery such as cesarean section, often result in the weakening of the pelvic muscles.[6] This can be assessed by either digital examination of vaginal pressure or using a Kegel perineometer. Kegel exercises are useful in regaining pelvic floor muscle strength in such cases.

Urinary health

Pelvic floor exercises (muscle training) can be included in conservative treatment approaches for women with urinary incontinence.[7] There is tentative evidence that biofeedback may give added benefit when used with pelvic floor muscle training.[8] After a prostatectomy there is no clear evidence that teaching pelvic floor exercises alters the risk of urinary incontinence in men.[9]

Pelvic prolapse

The symptoms of prolapse and its severity can be decreased with pelvic floor exercises.[10][11] Effectiveness can be improved with feedback on how to do the exercises.[12]

Mechanism of action

The aim of Kegel exercises is to improve muscle tone by strengthening the pubococcygeus muscles of the pelvic floor. Kegel is a popular prescribed exercise for pregnant women to prepare the pelvic floor for physiological stresses of the later stages of pregnancy and childbirth. Kegel exercises are said to be good for treating vaginal prolapse[13] and preventing uterine prolapse[14] in women and for treating prostate pain and swelling resulting from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis in men. Kegel exercises may be beneficial in treating urinary incontinence in both men and women.[15] Kegel exercises may also increase sexual gratification, allowing women to complete pompoir and aid in reducing premature ejaculation[4] in men. The many actions performed by Kegel muscles include holding in urine and avoiding defecation. Reproducing this type of muscle action can strengthen the Kegel muscles. The action of slowing or stopping the flow of urine may be used as a test of correct pelvic floor exercise technique.[16][11]

It is now known that the components of levator ani (the pelvic diaphragm), namely pubococcygeus, puborectalis and ileococcygeus, contract and relax as one muscle. Hence, pelvic floor exercises involve the entire levator ani rather than pubococcygeus alone. Pelvic floor exercises may be of benefit in cases of fecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse conditions e.g. rectal prolapse.[17]

Pelvic toning devices

Some devices, marketed to women, are for exercising the pelvic floor muscles and to improve the muscle tone of the pubococcygeal or vaginal muscle.

As of 2013 there was no evidence that doing pelvic floor exercise with weights worked better than doing Kegel exercises without weights; there is greater risk with weights, because a foreign object is introduced into the vagina.[18][5]

Inserting foreign objects into the vagina increases the risk of infections and can lead to vaginosis or toxic shock syndrome.[23] Overuse of such Kegel exercises, with or without a device, can lead to pelvic pain and pain during intercourse.[19]

Marketing

During the latter part of the 20th century, a number of medical and pseudo-medical devices were marketed to consumers as improving sex or orgasms, increasing "energy", "balancing hormones", and as having other health or lifestyle benefits. There is no evidence for any of these claims, and many of them are pseudoscience.[19][20][21]
