Kegel exercises are widely used practices designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, uterus, intestines, and rectum, and play an important role in maintaining pelvic function. Weakening of the pelvic floor may occur due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, childbirth, or excess weight.
Strengthening these muscles may help support bladder control, improve pelvic function, and contribute to postpartum recovery. Kegel exercises involve controlled contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and can be performed without special equipment.
