Pelvic Floor Exercise Goals
Pelvic floor exercises, often known as Kegel exercises, are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder, small intestine, and rectum.
It's important to perform pelvic floor exercises correctly and consistently to achieve these goals. Incorrect technique can be ineffective or even harmful, so it may be beneficial to seek guidance from a healthcare provider or a specialized physical therapist, especially when starting out.
Support Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when a pelvic organ, such as the bladder, drops from its normal place and pushes against the walls of the vagina. This can happen when the muscles that hold these organs in place get weak or stretched. Pelvic floor exercises can help manage the symptoms of prolapse by strengthening the muscles that support these organs.
