Kegel exercises for men Understand the benefits

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
Kegel exercises for men can help improve bladder control and possibly improve sexual performance. Here's a guide to doing Kegel exercises correctly.
Think Kegel exercises are just for women? Think again.
Kegel exercises for men can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and bowel and affect sexual function. With practice, Kegel exercises for men can be done just about anytime.
Before you start doing Kegel exercises, find out how to locate the correct muscles and understand the proper technique.
The male pelvic floor muscles support the bladder and bowel and affect sexual function. Kegel exercises can help strengthen these muscles.
Many factors can weaken your pelvic floor muscles, including the surgical removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy) and conditions such as diabetes and an overactive bladder.
You might benefit from doing Kegel exercises if you:
Make Kegel exercises part of your daily routine. For example:
If you're having trouble doing Kegel exercises, don't be embarrassed to ask for help. Your doctor or other health care provider can give you important feedback so that you learn to isolate and strengthen the correct muscles.
In some cases, biofeedback training might help. In a biofeedback session, your doctor or other health care provider inserts a small probe into your rectum. As you relax and contract your pelvic floor muscles, a monitor will measure and display your pelvic floor activity. Research suggests that biofeedback training is more effective in treating fecal incontinence.
If you do your Kegel exercises regularly, you can expect results — such as less frequent urine leakage — within a few weeks to a few months. For continued benefits, make Kegel exercises a permanent part of your daily routine.

Kegel exercises are exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. You might also hear them called pelvic floor exercises. They affect the muscles that support your uterus, bladder , small intestine, and rectum. Kegels don’t just help keep them fit, they can help you avoid bladder leaks and passing gas or stool by accident. They can even improve your orgasms.
When they’re working like they should, your pelvic floor muscles may never cross your mind. But as you age, they can start to weaken. This puts you at risk for a condition doctors call pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Basically, your pelvic organs start to droop. They can fall into or out of your vagina . If you’ve had a hysterectomy , your vaginal tissues can start to come out of your body.
Other things that put you at risk for POP include:
Kegel exercises aren’t just for women. They can strengthen men’s pelvic floor muscles, too. These muscles support your bladder and bowel and affect sexual function. Kegels can help if you have trouble with bladder or bowel incontinence, or if you dribble after you pee. They can make sex better by giving you more feeling during an orgasm and greater control over ejaculation.
Try to pee. Once urine starts to flow, squeeze your muscles to hold it in. You should feel the muscles lift. Another way is to squeeze the muscles that stop you from passing gas . You just did one Kegel. Relax the muscle and do it again.
Don’t get into the habit of doing Kegels while you pee, though. This can cause other problems, like urinary tract infections.
Start slowly. Try squeezing your pelvic floor muscles for 3 seconds, then release for 3 seconds. Do this 10 times in a row. That’s one set. If you can’t do 10, do as many as you can and build up over time. Try to work up to one set of 10 Kegels two to three times a day.
Kegels aren’t harmful. In fact, you can make them a part of your daily routine. Do them while you’re brushing your teeth , driving to work, eating dinner, or watching TV.
Ask for help if you’re having trouble doing Kegels. The doctor can give you tips on how to do them the right way. There are also tools that can help, like:
Most women who do Kegels regularly see results, like fewer urine leaks, within a few weeks or months. If you’re still concerned about a prolapse or don’t feel your symptoms are getting better, talk to your doctor about other treatments.
Kegels are safe, but it’s still important to be careful. Here’s what to watch out for:
Kegels aren’t for everyone. If your pelvic floor muscles are always tight, these exercises can do more harm than good. If you try to contract muscles that are already tired, they won’t be able to respond. Your doctor can help you figure out if this applies to you.

Kegel Exercises - A Step By Step Guide
Kegels or kegel exercises (also known as pelvic floor exercises) are one of the best ways to improve and maintain bowel and bladder functions. Kegels can be done by both men and women to increase the strength of your pelvic floor and may help to improve or even eliminate bladder leakage .
Kegel exercises are a great tool for many people, whether you’re wanting to reduce symptoms of urinary incontinence or you’re just looking to keep your pelvic floor healthy. Increasing the strength and tone of the pelvic floor can help relieve many symptoms, such as a bladder prolapse , bladder leakage , and urinary urgency . Kegels are often recommended for women or men whose pelvic floor requires better support. Pelvic floor exercises, like any other strength training program, can help to tighten up the muscles and restore their natural role in pelvic organ support and pelvic stability.
However, it’s important to note that kegel exercises are not for everyone. In fact, some people may even do more harm than good by doing too many Kegels.
Some pelvic floor disorders are a result of the pelvic floor being too active or tense. When this happens, it makes it hard for the pelvic floor to relax and rest completely. This may lead to the pelvic floor being in a continuous overactive state.
Why is it bad for your pelvic floor to be so active or tense all the time? When your pelvic floor is continuously operating in an overactive state, it makes it harder for it to respond when you actually need it to contract, not only because the muscle is already fatigued, but because there is little range for it to contract further. The muscle is already in a shortened state. Therefore, clenching when you sneeze or trying to keep from having an accident when you really have to go may result in leakage because the muscles are less effective in their reaction to the situation.
In these cases, doing Kegels for strengthening or improving tone is NOT recommended. It’s hard to know if you have a weak pelvic floor, or an overactive pelvic floor without consulting a pelvic floor therapist, which is why it’s always recommended to see one prior to beginning any pelvic floor exercise routine.
A physical therapist will help diagnose your problem and can teach you how to properly do a Kegel, and just as important, how to relax the pelvic floor . ( Read more about the role of a pelvic floor therapist and what to expect at an appointment here. ) Biofeedback tools are often used during these appointments, which let you actually see or feel how well you’re squeezing and can ensure that you’re engaging the correct muscles.
So, how do you know you are doing Kegels properly? Like any exercise, it can be difficult to know at first. But with a daily commitment, it becomes instinctive. Here are a few tips for doing kegel exercises for women:
If you can stop your urination flow mid-stream, you have identified your pelvic floor muscles. That’s the most difficult part of the exercise. (If you’re having problems identifying the correct muscles, stop and make an appointment with a pelvic floor PT.)
Performing with an empty bladder, your first goal should be to tighten your pelvic floor muscles for 5 seconds. Then relax them for 5 seconds. Try to do 5 reps on your first day. As you gain confidence from your new routine, aim for 10 seconds at a time, relaxing for 10 seconds between contractions. (A total of 10 full Kegels per session.)
As you gain strength, you can work up to 3 sessions of 10 full Kegels per day.
To give your pelvic floor a full workout, there are two types of focused kegel exercises you could perform.
Quick or Short Muscle Contractions (Fast Twitch Muscle Exercise) - The first exercise is called a quick or short contraction. It works the fast-twitch muscle fibers that respond quickly to compress the urethra and shut off the flow of urine to prevent leakage.
To perform these contractions, the muscles are quickly tightened, lifted up, held for 1-2 seconds, and then released back down. You should continue to breathe normally as you do these exercises.
Long Hold Muscle Contractions- This exercise works on the supportive strength and endurance of the slow-twitch muscle fibers and is referred to as a long hold contraction.
To perform these contractions, the same muscles you used with the quick contractions are now going to be gradually tightened, lifted up, and held over several seconds.
At first, it may be difficult to hold the contraction for more than 1 or 2 seconds. Ultimately, the goal is to hold the contraction for 10 seconds then rest for 10 seconds between each long contraction to avoid taxing the muscles.
Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs, or buttocks. Also, avoid holding your breath. Breathe freely during the exercises to keep from stressing the rest of your body. It might be helpful to count the seconds of your hold out loud in order to maintain normal breathing.
Aim for at least 3 sets of 10 repetitions per day. (After you’ve gotten the hang of it.)
Kegel exercises may feel awkward in the beginning. But the longer you stay with this, the better you will feel the muscles work and your bladder health will reap the benefits. As a bonus, Kegels have been reported to increase sexual pleasure as well. Yes!
A solid kegel workout plan would be to perform 1 set of 10 short contractions and 1 set of 10 long contractions 2 or 3 times per day. Remember: Quality is more important than quantity. Doing a smaller number of kegels correctly will be far more effective than doing a whole bunch of them incorrectly. You should see improvements in as little as 4 weeks or longer depending on the severity of your problem.
As a training aid for kegels, you can use vaginal weights, wands, or other devices that provide resistance against muscle contractions to help challenge the muscle, like increasing the dumbbell weight for your arm curls. Some of these aids are prescribed by a health professional and used under professional supervision, while others are available without a prescription.
There are many different types these days, with some requiring a vaginal insert and others being as easy as slipping on a pair of shorts. Be sure to consult with your physical therapist or physician prior to using these devices.

Watch how you improve week over week by keeping track of your progress with our pelvic floor exercise tracker . Not only will this sheet keep you motivated, but you’ll also be able to take notes on how your Kegels and pelvic floor strength improve over time.
Additionally, if you find after a few weeks that you need some extra help from a Kegel device, some insurance companies require proof of having tried Kegels on your own first, before covering the cost of a device, so this tracker can help document your efforts.
Improving your pelvic floor strength takes time. Don’t be discouraged if you are not able to control your bladder as soon as you would like, but rather look for these signs as proof that your pelvic floor muscle exercises are working and that you are on your way to better bladder health:
Longer time between bathroom visits
Ability to hold the contractions longer, or to do more repetitions
Drier underwear, without the feeling of always being wet
Women and men who have difficulty performing kegel exercises on their own may find biofeedback therapy helpful. With professional instruction from a nurse specialist or pelvic floor therapist, many people experience significant improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength, tone, and function with a good regime.
It's crucial to remember that incontinence and pelvic floor symptoms almost always have solutions and shouldn’t be shrugged off as
