What is kegel exercise? How it is done? Is it is beneficial to women?

Question

Hi,
kegel exercises can help you prevent or control urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor problems.
Pelvic floor exercise, also known as kegel exercise, consists of repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor. The aim of kegel exercises is to improve muscle tone by strengthening the pubococcygeus muscles of the pelvic floor. The many actions performed by kegel muscles include holding in urine and avoiding defecation. Reproducing this type of muscle action can strengthen the kegel or pelvic floor muscles. The action of slowing or stopping the flow of urine may be used as a test of correct pelvic floor exercise technique.
The pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder, rectum, and small intestine, also known as the" kegel muscles,
make kegel exercises part of your daily routine. You can do kegel exercises discreetly just about anytime, whether you're sitting at your desk or relaxing on the couch.
Pregnant women can perform kegel exercises.
Always do kegels with an empty bladder. Doing kegels with a full bladder can weaken your pelvic floor and increases your risk of contracting a urinary tract infection.
