The Kegel Exercise for Sexual Dysfunction

The kegel exercise introduced by vedics is known as 'aswini mudra'. The kegel exersise is a simple and commonly used by people who are suffering from urinary incontinence and pregnant women. It is also useful for men whose erectile dysfunction is caused by impaired circulation. The basic technique consists of tightening and relaxing the pelvic muscles that controls urination. Since the muscle is internal and is sometimes difficult to isolate, doctors often recommend practicing while urinating on the toilet. The patient tries to contract the muscle until the flow of urine is slowed or stopped and then releases it. People should perform 5 to 15 contractions, attempting to hold each contraction for 10 seconds, three to five times daily.
