How to do kegals for women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Urethra muscle: Identify the muscle that controls the outflow or bladder control of urine by contracting it. A kegel exercise is where you tighten that muscle and hold it for 10 seconds. Try to do this 30-40 times a day. This will tighten the urethra so that bladder control is better such that you have less loss of urine with laughing, coughing, & sneezing if that is happening.

I'm 22 years old female. I keep clenching my pelvic muscles like kegel. I think it's because of anxiety and stress. Now I'm having my periods and I'm doing it more. Is there any harm in periods to do it? Also I had little pain and twitching in pelvic?
