A member asked:
Just bought a foam pelvic floor muscle exerciser about 6 inches diameter. by sitting on it doing kegels, will it help make gynecologist visits easier? or sex for the first time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is to tighten the pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic exams by Gyns require relaxing them so it might help if you learn the 'relaxing 'part of it. Sex depends on many other variables- it might help there too.
