Women Say Goodbye to Stress Incontinence: Master Kegel Techniques
Stress urinary incontinence, characterized by leaking urine during activities like sneezing or lifting, can often be effectively managed with Kegel exercises.
Benefits of Kegels: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles helps you better control urine flow, supporting the bladder and preventing leakage.
How to Do Kegels?
Identify the Muscles: Find the pelvic floor muscles by stopping urination midstream (only for identification).
Technique: Tighten these muscles for 3–5 seconds, then relax for the same duration. Repeat 10–15 times per session.
Practice Daily: Perform three sets a day for best results.
Additional Tips:
- Ensure your bladder is empty before starting.
- Avoid overusing nearby muscles like your abdomen or thighs.
With consistent practice, Kegels can reduce or even eliminate stress incontinence, empowering women to regain confidence in their daily lives.
