A member asked:

In kegel exercise should i squeeze really hard to train the muscle to be strong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Kegel: Effective kegel exercise can be done in many ways. Like all muscles, repeated flexing improves strength and increases the muscle size. The pelvic floor muscles can be strengthened and thickened with a daily regimen of six sets of twenty reps.

Dr Morse and another doctor agreed
