So many great events in life can wreak havoc on your pelvic muscles. Pregnancy, childbirth and overeating are all culprits. For women especially, it is almost a necessity to perform pelvic exercises as we age.

Will I See Results with Pelvic Exercises?
Your pelvic floor muscles are like any other muscle in your body–without exercise, they can become weak. Add to that any one of the events discussed above and you may end up with a damaged pelvic floor. Pelvic exercises are done to strengthen your pelvic floor area and regain its elasticity.

For women with bladder control problems, these exercises can literally work miracles. By going through the motion of tightening and then relaxing your muscle, you will tone and reshape it, allowing you to have better control over your bladder as well as enhanced stimulation during intercourse. Even exercising just five minutes a day can make a huge difference in your incontinence symptoms and sex life.

As with any exercise program, it is important that you train the right muscle. With pelvic exercises, this is extremely important. You may want to ask your gynecologist to help you find the muscle and instruct you in the proper way to perform the exercises.
