Help please? what is kegel exercise and what are its advantages?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kegel: Pelvic floor exercise, or kegel exercise (/ˈkeɪɡəl/, /ˈkiːɡəl/), consists of repeatedly contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor, now sometimes colloquially referred to as the "kegel muscles". Several tools exist to help with these exercises, although various studies debate the relative effectiveness of different tools versus traditional exercises.[1][2].
